Jeremy, this is the latest I've been handed. M12 P Turbo with a .55 AR. Google tells me it came from a company called Honeywell...wh o was bought out by Garrett Motion. Using Garretts search function for that turbo gets me nowhere. I need to know the size to order a chip for it. I'll try E-Bay and see what comes up. Got my hands full deciphering this car.

The m12 is probably the casting on the compressor cover, eBay says it’s a to4e cover. Might be best to pull the covers and take a caliper to it.

It's the housing for the non-stock appearing turbos like the TE44, etc - with the integrated inlet.

He's gonna slide under the car today and check the TC. That might be my next question. Thanks for the help.

Garrett has been a Honeywell company for a long time- Allied Signal etc. They were spun back out as a separate entity which IIRC got saddled/screwed with asbestos liabilities of some other division.So they said screw this and claimed bankruptcy.
