Thread: Does this look like a hybrid t25/28?

I needed to reclock the compressor housing, so I took apart my turbo that is supposed to be a t25/28 hybrid. Just wanted to see if anyone could help me identify whether this was truly an upgraded turbo or not.

Also, I pulled the wastegate off, and I noticed the tab on the housing rotates around completely 360°. Is this ok?

Thanks for the help.

A little hard to tell, but it looks like it:

Does not look like it to me.

measure the wheel?

Is there anything else I can take apart to find out, or a measurement I can take? Sadly, this is the turbo that I bought for $550, and was beat to hell because of no packing during shipping. This was the thread.

It was sold to me as a t25 with t28 wheels. This would just be the icing on the cake for me...

Looks like a normal t25, sorry bud.

also looks filthy, not low milage like stated...its caked in oil

hard to tell, but even the turbo in the for sale thread looks cleaner but hard to say, good luck to ya

Sorry to see that bro, Get a refund and get a GTIR T28 next time...

Sadly, this has been an issue for many months. Basically the seller excepts no responsibility for the way it was shipped to me. I am quite sure now he will except no responsibility for it not being the turbo he said it was. It supposedly only had 1000 miles or so since the hybrid conversion, and obviously this doesn't look like that at all.
