Posted February 20, 20187 yr Got a turbo I need help identifying. Has SD-343579 etched on the charge pipe.
February 20, 20187 yr The cover retention is a vband with a bolt on hot side. That screams k series turbo. Measure the compressor wheel. That looks like a k31.
February 20, 20187 yr No, take the compressor housing off and measure the diameter of the wheel itself.
February 23, 20187 yr Author The bolt is seized on the clamp so I can't get the compressor cover off. I don't want to snap the bolt unless I plan on using the turbo. There is no play in the shaft but the compressor wheel has some chips on some of the blades. So I would rebuild it anyway. I measured the compressor wheel opening, just over 66mm, and the exhaust opening is just over 78mm.
