That ID plate that should be visible on the side of the turbo housing that was mentioned earlier in the thread appears to be painted over. As does the whole front housing which has been what has been throwing me in trying to identify this thing.

I also got my flashing module in from 034 Motorsports and the car is currently running a Stage 3 TCU and Stage 3 TTE710 ECU tune. Does this mean the previous owner more than likely installed the TTE710 Turbo? There would be no point in running that particular flash otherwise, right?

Also, I did a little 0-60 run the other day and it came in at 3.51. I feel like this is a little sluggish for a Stage 3 Tune but maybe I’m expecting too much. That’s full weight on 93 octane.

UPDATE: did another 0-60 under better conditions and let the boost build up a little more this time around. 3.059, much happier with that. So close to under 3 sec.
I am inclined to think that it is a Turbosystems Stage 3 turbo. The TTE710 will be stamped into the back of the housing. Not easily painted over. I think original owner just ran 034 because that was a "close enough" tune to run, available to flash at home, and readily available....The specs are very similar

No, not a safe assumption - as commented already, people have been known to run the OTS TTE file on other turbos that haven't been specifically tuned for. You could remove the inlet (what kind is it btw?) and measure the diameter of the inducer - would be 66mm for a TTE. I think TS turbos would be a tad smaller but I don't know the actual values. Most likely it's a TS variant given the black housing.
