Garrett turbo ID help
I need help identifying my turbo. I know it's a T04e, but beyond that, I'm not sure. The tag says T04E14. I've included a couple of pics, including the a closeup of the tag. Hopefully someone w/ some Garrett/AiResearch connections can help me out.
1.00 A/R hotside. .76 A/R cold side.
I was told it was a T04E hi-fi, but I can't really confirm or deny that. Do I just need to measure the wheels?
If someone can provide me some details specs and maybe even a compressor map, that would be great... Thanks!!

Its a t04e, looks like the ford heavy truck diesel version, I run a similar turbo, it won't be a hi-fi or a 60-1, those are t04b configurations, it will be a trim like 46, 50, 57, 60 or something like that, measure the comp wheel and it will give you the trim number in mm, then I can give you map for it, some of the ford oem designs were crosses, they had a 57 inducer size but a 60 trim exducer size..Max

When I measure the compressor wheel, can I just do the o.d. of the visible part of the wheel? Or do I need to disassemble the cold side since the base of the wheel is actually bigger than what is visible?
I DID measure the visible portion of the wheel (like in the pic above) and got 55mm. The turbine wheel was 65mm.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I think it turns out to be a T04e - 46.
Measured the compressor wheel after removing the intake housing and the outside diam of the wheel was 74.93mm and the small diam of the wheel was 50.8mm. Amazingly, this matched up nearly perfectly to the T4E-46 trim.
Pretty mild turbo -- but it will do for starters.
I appreciate MaxThe7Man's help for pointing me to this table:
