Is there a blatant link I'm missing? It would be nice to have these listed somewhere, as I'm looking for a new turbo and I need to know what I've got...
 
which cars? 7 series wise the 84-87 got t3's ... a few 88-89 and some 87 cars got the TD05-12b turbo(while some t3's but so many have been swapped over the years)

90+ got the TD04-13c and a few rare ones got the garret t25
 
sounds like a late garrett t3(all others have cbv on housing), i have a late garrett w/onepeice ex/wastegate housing and plastic nipples, and a .52 comp housing, weird little thing
 
Generally speaking:
200T=T3, 45 trim compressor .42A/R compressor housing .63 A/R exhaust housing. Small wastegate flapper.
84-87 700T=T3 50 trim compressor, .42A/R compressor housing,.48 A/R exhaust.
88-89 700 wagon or stick shift car= TD05H-12B.
88-89 sedan automatics is like an 84-87 700, though large wastegate flappers are a bit more common as is the larger .52 A/R comp housing in 89 with the same 50 trim wheel.
90-91 700 manual or 940SE=T25. There are two sizings IIRC.
90+ autos and everything else has a TD04H-13C usually.
I wouldn't bother with any of the mitsus. The T25 makes a decent daily driver.

the t25 is just as bad as the 13c ... my n/a wagon has beaten a stock 91' 940se
 
Hmm...OK, it would seem that my 89 740 wagon has a Mitsu TD05H-12B. Guess I'll be on the lookout for one of those, unless I can find a deal on an upgrade. :oogle: Thanks!

Power curve is better for a stick shift car with wide ratios. More efficient under 10lbs. Better longevity.
940SEs are heavy piggies. The 90 744T is pleasantly quick (factory M46 car), as much as I despise 7x4s, it is nice to drive in a straight line or down the highway.
Kane's 91 T25 M46 car dynoed some very nice numbers for a bone stock car at 6-7lbs of boost with very healthy torque.
 
My 1990 740 turbo wagon with factory m46 has the T25 and I saw today on the exhaust side it said AR 64 and on the intake it says AR 48. Is this what all the t25s are? It's the fastest volvo I've ever owned for sure, but then it's the only turbo I've had... I just got done putting in a good steering rack and put in a locker rear end the other day from a 940. When's PIR open for the friday night drags?
