[QUOTE="Dino soar, post: 10778323, member: 208212"]Well you really don't know what that engine is. That engine could have been rebuilt to a different CPL. Or it could be a completely different engine from the VIN number. Your best bet is to take the actual numbers off of the turbo that's on there and if it ran right like it should and everything work you should get the identical turbo and replace it. With engines that old you have no idea what anyone has done so that's really the best accurate thing to do without tearing into the engine. If the turbo looks different than what you have then either you got the numbers mixed up or they made a mistake and sent you the wrong Turbo.[/QUOTE]
