    Those are both T3s with 5 bolt exhaust housings. Measuring the wheels inducer/exducer diameters will tell us exactly what they are.

    Almost looks like a Garret TB03 (Ford Thunderbird turbo, Saab 9-3, and if I remember, some Buick Grand National / T-Types??)

    ok, so got another little tidbit of information on these, found a note that had been made on them; apparently they were bought for a 2003 M3, and they should be good for 2.5L to 3.8L vehicles (I think if the note is correct).

    I'm sure I need something more than a basic ruler to measure the size on these? Eventually when I figure out enough on them they will be put up for sale (there is also a bov and other accessories that come with it) ; I know what was paid for these and don't wanna let them go for nothing but I have no use for them and I am sure someone out there wants their car to go faster......

    There’s no serial number plate on the compressor housing anywhere?

    Those are T3 (not T3/T4) 60 trim or Super 60's. You need to take the compressor cover off for an accurate measurement of the wheel inducer to say exactly which one.

    Either way, brand new about 900 bucks each and will support around 300 crank horsepower each.

    Thank you! here are a couple of the other pieces it came with, and see if I can make a package out of all of it.

    After reading this thread, I'd see that you don't know what you have, and would offer you a value much below market if I were interested.

    BTW, it all looks like quality stuff, that would fetch nice coin if split up

    hahaha true enough. but between what was paid for the whole set (not recently), and what Sentry helped value, there is easily over $2000 worth of goodies. I'd rather sell all as a set then split up and part out; that being said the first person who would make me a reasonable offer would take it home.......
