Can you ID this turbo??

I got it from someone on this forum. It doesn't look like terribly great quality, but should work for all intents and purposes. Sorry about the shots, did the best my cheapo camera would allow.

 

 

 

In the picture below, I'm guessing I need a gasket to go between the turbo and the downpipe? Where in the heck can I source one of these?

 

Here's the rest of the pieces / parts that came with the turbo setup. I have a pretty decent intellect, but can't figure out what to do with the blow off valve.

 

Is that ding in the U shaped pipe going to be an issue? Forgive me, I'm new to all of this turbo stuff, and really hope I didn't buy a POS.

 

 

So - any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing a few things will need to be reworked - the shaft as a little play - not a heck of a lot, but "some", so I'm hoping I can at least use it for the time being until I can upgrade.

 

Thanks all!

Here's a rundown - Looks like a generic eBay T3 turbo with an internal wastegate turbine housing. The internal wastegate was wither not installed or removed. Gasket between turbine and downpipe is easy; eBay for generic 5-bolt T3. The "Blow off valve" you have is actually an external wastegate, and connects to the small pipe off the downpipe flange. Just replace the dinged pipe; maybe $35 at a good exhaust shop.

 

I did a write-up on another site for people new to turbochargers; check it out: http://www.sdrev.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8533

Thanks Jason - I did find the gasket/flange/bolts on EBay, however, the place for the external wastegate pipe is blocked off. I'm guessing I either have to open that up myself manually, or there is another kit that is setup for an external wastegate. I searched through a couple pages and didn't find one that allows for that ext. wastegate pipe. In looking at the EBay turbos, I'm pretty sure I got hosed on this deal. Got the setup for $300 - WITH a bit of shaft play. I'm guessing "I" got the shaft....
