hi everybody, im new to this cite. i bought a complete turbo 2.3 engine off of craigslist the other day. it comes with everything including ecu and wiring. i plan to do the swap but first would like to rebuild the turbo. bearings are good in turbo but it leaks oil. i know the turbo was from a fox body mustang. i do not know the year of the vehicle or much else

what turbo do i have? it looks original.

what amount of boost does it put out stock?

best way to verify year of motor? im guessing 86-88??

where can i get a rebuild kit?

any info or links on this stuff would be very helpful! thanks!

The turbo should say Garrett or ITI on it which would tell you which you have, give the code off of the ECM, should be something like LA, LA2, LA3, PC1, etc...those parts tell the most of what era it's from
