That would be a stock turbo off of a SD 7.3

That is NOT a SD turbo that is a rebuilt OBS turbo.

Yeah I thought the TP38's were OBS turbos.

What size exhaust housing does it have? Looks a lot like a D66.

Call beans and give them the number. Looks like one of theirs judging from the tag.

I dont think that is a 66mm wheel though. They look different. Probably just a stocker.

When did OBS turbo's come with Wastegate provisions in the compressor housings??

Don't know as I have never owned an obs but I do know that it isn't a sd turbo for sure.

Obs turbos never came with wg provisions. That may could be a sd with a stock obs wheel on it.

That could be an early 99 turbo too. what does the exhaust housing look like?

You can see a square flange for the turbine inlet, so it's not an E99 turbo. The compressor housing looks like a stock OBS turbo except for the wastegate mount. Looks to be a hodge podge of OBS and E99 turbo parts. What does the exhaust side look like? Does the center section bolt to the pedestal with 2 bolts from the top or 4 bolts from under the pedestal?
