62mm turbo?

I found a turbo with a 62mm compressor and a 73mm exhaust wheel in a 17cm2 gated exhaust housing with a T-4 flange. Is it worth a snot or a waste of time? I don't need it but thought it might be nice for my 03?????

What is it, Holset, Scwitzer, Garrett? Sounds good if it was a T3 Schwitzer!

Holset, WH2D model T-4 foot. I'm not looking for huge boost numbers but I would like to dump the 9cm junker that's on my DD.

Yes for a bolt up job. Anything else you need an adaptor plate.

It's probly old junk to begin with, but you could probly make it work with a 16cm housing from a hx40, not that those are laying around everywhere.

Well they're brand new turbos. I wasn't sure if it would be worth trying.

Ask the same question on CompD. There's more turbo folk over there. Though usually if it's not the flavor of the month turbo, you won't get very many positive comments.
