My OM603 that is being retired had the original turbo yanked off and I put a spare older Turbonetics T60-1 on it for giggles. Didn't measure much on it, just put it on. It has a 60mm inducer comp, and is journal bearing, no anti-surge, billet exducer plate, 1:01 A/R exh. IIRC and T4 flange, not running any wastegate at all, the turbo doesn't have one. It bolted up using some of the factory hardware, the oil feed & drain bolted right on (it is a Garrett based turbo). I utilized the stock manifold but fabbed a custom crossover pipe w/ t4 flange thats like the original one. All the pre-turbo exhaust is wrapped in titanium type header wrap. Mods to the car are adjusted ALDA, 3.5" exhaust turbo-back with a Borla muffler, dumps underneath in front of the axle. Using an OE Duramax intake tube to an S&B filter. It starts making a few psi of boost around 2500 rpm and climbs lazily on modest or less throttle. If you hammer it from a dead stop, it starts winding up at about 3000rpm and starts pulling hard to shift point and peaks at 15psi boost. It has no choke point as is or surge and is pretty laggy down low but fun on spool! I will probably give this turbo a try on the 606 when its done. It will be better suited and have the fuel and drive to work.
