Is it an actual turbo or a centrifugal pump?  And yes, I know a turbo is a centrifugal pump but the volute is a little bit different.  And this thing has variable inlet vanes.

Did you have to change your converter when you put that in?

I had to search for:"A "Voith" spiral turbine (9000 hp ) built in Germany for a powerplant in Norway. Taken in 1931."  Used to make hydro-power up to 6 MW.

That makes more sense and explains everything!
