the flange looks wrong for a T3, I was thinking T25, but I am not sure.

I did, and got nothing.
its a reman unit, so the part number is not the factory one.

I was hoping that one of the gurus on here might be able to help me out.

could be one of the turbos made for mitsubishi trucks in the late 80's early 90's.

Airesearch made a few for the smaller Fuso trucks. They were t3's with a short legged turbine. They kicked in at around 1000 rpm and carried to around 2800 rpm. They are OK for trucks with a lower rpm range, but crapola on cars that can easily go past 2800 rpm.

Volvo oil return pipe from the looks of the tag. Volvo uses a lot of mitsubishi, and garrett though. How about a pic of the whole unit?

Just a guess because we don't see many here, but Volvo D24T mid eighties 740 / 760 Turbo Diesel.

I am just curious because the guy says its a T3, but the flange looks wrong for a T3.
I thought maybe T25.
