Looks like a Garrett T3 based on the pics and numbers.

No...

T25 probably, but I need to know the year of the car. Some Saabs had GT series turbos, but I don't think that's a GT.

For some reason i didn't look at the year when i pulled it, im now kicking myself for that Confused if i had to guess it looked like a late 90's to early 00's.

I'm going to try to go back to the yard and see if the donor is still there but i doubt it will be. I don't think its a GT either, the compressor wheel doesn't match up with any of this years GT's on the Garrett site. I'm going to try calling a Saab dealer tmrw but i doubt I'll have much luck with that.

thanks for the help

Do some web searching with the part #, some are saying it could be a T28, which is the same family as T25/T2 anyway. It would be the same flange dimensions, so what does your exhaust mounting pad measure? (the last pic you posted)

This is T2/25/28:

The T2/25/28 pretty much matches mine, everything is within 2mm which im sure my measuring errors and just the castings. thanks for finding that image for me.

shit dude, i guess i didn't look hard enough, all i saw on the garrett site was on the gt series and the old catalogs wouldn't download for me, i wasn't finding anything conclusive on the numbers either, i guess I'll look a little longer next time, thanks again.
