I have an opportunity to buy a turbo that was bought by somebody for a project that they abandoned. The turbo is brand new and never installed.
I'm told it is a VNT17/22, but there's no receipts to go with it as it was purchased a few years ago and they got lost along the way.
What concerns me is it's stamped Garrett "GT1749VA."
I know the "good" VNT17 is the "GT1749VB" version... But I do know that a 17/22 is a customized turbo, maybe the builders just used a different compressor housing ? How can I be sure before I buy as I can't exactly disassemble the turbo and measure the compressor diameter before purchasing.
