Which turbos are these?

I ordered a set of '99 spec turbos from my local shop. The actuators are gold and the fins have 10 blades; but I don't see the abraidable seals. The model number on the side of the compressor housing is N3C1-S. Are these the '96-'98 turbos?

Sorry to break the bad news, but not all '99 turbos have the abradable seals

. You need an RS or RZ model to get those. Jesse will confirm this for you but you can even buy a set of non-abradable seal '99 turbos off his website...

That's what my shop has been telling me. I see now. Damn ... two more weeks to wait for the RS/RZ turbos.
