BOTTOM

FRONT/COMPRESSOR

Features of Note:

  • Exhaust housing is very similar to later turbos
Features of Note:
  • From this angle you can see the much smaller diameter of the compressor housing compared to the 86/87
  • The turbine housing also looks to be a tighter scroll
  • Notice the way the wastegate actuator pressure feed is at the back of the scroll
