Here's supposedly the three options.

I've got the smallest one. I believe you guys have the middle one. Mine actually has a t3 flange on it which was nice because it was one less adapter.

Ahh, I see now. I was thinking yours was a T4 yet. Did you fab your own mount on yours or did it bolt right on a banks or 093?

The exhaust valve is what hit the most on my motor.

Instead of modding the intake I fabbed an adapter that has all kinds of compound angles to raise it up and turn it a little but it is t3 like the Banks up pipe I used.

Mine says .89 a/r inside the exhaust housing and the part number verifies it is too, but that being said it's still a T4 mount.

 

[laserjock]

Huh. Have to dig through my pics. Maybe it's the same AR with a t3 mount??

If I can't get anymore clearance out of it tomorrow I may stick the stock cam in and see what I have clearance wise.

Is there any other way to tell the size?

If you do that I would be curious on the results.

The last digit of the part number tells you. A 1 like I have is a .89, a 2 is a .99, ect.

Is it the numbers stamped on the side of the flange?

So here's my turbo. It was a complete fluke find on eBay. One of the few times I've been in the right place at the right time.

Mine says 0.83 actually. I thought 0.83 was on that chart but it says 0.89. Oh well.

You can see it was brand new. I couldn't pass on it for the price. Blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I can buy another housing and change it and still be money far ahead so I took a chance on it.

 

[laserjock]

On closer inspection it may be an 0.89 just with the t3 housing option. I swore I had ID it as being smaller but I guess not. Maybe Heath's is a 0.99 and that's why I thought it was smaller?

That turbo you got @laserjock I believe was actually the one used for a "powermax" upgrade on a Cummins.

There should be a tag on the inside of the compressor housing @no mufflers like the one laserjock posted, but the last digits won't be a -5001s. It'll be a -1s, -2s, or -3s

 

[tjsea]

On second look @laserjock the part number on your turbo comes up as a .89 ar T4 like mine. I wonder if someone had tried changing the exhaust housing to make it fit some sort of application. I also looked and the t3 one used on a cummins would have been wastegated.

 

[laserjock]

If you put in that part number a few vendors come up and there are options for t4 divided or t3 single. I see references to cummins. They based several upgrades on this turbo. I've seen them in kits for powerstrokes and duramax too.

If you look around, you can find different housings.
