Can't find specs for this turbo........ HELP!

[SMOKEYDUB]

I have a extra turbo kicking around and i want to know everything about it. It is off of a 1996 chevy 2500 6.5 l td. The turbo is a Borg - Warner GM-8 and is based on or also is a ihi . So any specs would be greatly appreciated.

Try here... search for info. I found some stuff. Seems like alot of the guys with these trucks that want to up the boost don't use them because they are fairly limited in their peak efficiency. They are labeled as a "emissions control device" as one person said on there. Maybe you'll find some stuff...

Didn't search for long...just a few minutes and found that. Not alot of info, but somewhere to start. Seems others have problems finding CFM ratings, etc. for it. Also...if the inlet is indeed a 1 7/8 that should tell you something right off...

and its possible these guys may be able to tell you the limits and performance specs of the unit you have as they are in "business" with them.

Borg-Warners site doesn't say much at all.
