Am I the only one who looks at the compressor wheel and thinks there is no way its an 80mm inducer? It looks really small in the pictures. Looks likes its only a 60something.

I had to trim the bumper and top pad a little to mount the intercooler where I did.

Yes I added the stepper motor and the.face to a stock cluster I had. The we cluster was melted from a fire, hence the.patch job on the top of it.

It may look small but after holding a magnum t76 in my hand yesterday, mine is a giant!! Lol the turbo weighed 50lbs so its a large unit and probably makes the.wheel look smaller ha ha

Info I got is

.81ar
1050 cfm
900+hp
86mm exducer
89mm inducer

Part number on the turbo is
Assy # 4044198
Serial# w080519119
Customer# 4049083

Says it came on a 2006 Volvo FH or FM box truck.

Heck maybe it is smaller, I could have been told wrong but it makes good power and works well for me so I can't complain.

All you have to do is measure the blades on the inlet. I think it is smaller, but looks good. The video seemed like it was working good too. Was it breaking the tires loose at the top of 2nd?

I saw this turbo kit in person yesterday and it looks like a top notch kit. Just a little tow rig that is a ctsv killer.

Done good today, down on power from first initial dyno run but still not bad. Made 500/550 on 14lbs. Not bad for a stocker 4.8l I don't guess!
