bolt on OBS turbo

Industrial Injection 94-97 Super Upgrade 89mm Comp Wheel w/ 1.15 Turbine Housing

Anyone ever heard of this turbo before? I wonder what it would be like with some bigger injectors? I'm no turbo man, so figured I'd see what people who know more about turbos say. I am looking to upgrade sometime not long away, so I've been looking around. Trust me, been looking at Jakes turbos, but happened to come across this so figured what you guys say.

i wonder where they got the measurement from the inducer or exducer if it is actually the inducer then it is bigger than the d66 by a large margin

Does it have a waste gate? It shows one so I'm assuming it does. I'm also curious to see what other people say.

I'm almost willing to bet that its the same as a D66. 66mm inducer/ 89mm exducer

Ok they emailed me back and here is what they told me
Hey, I believe you are talking about the 89mm super upgradefor the OBS Ford. It is a complete bolt on turbo kit. The measurements are... COMP WHEEL IS A 68MM INDUCER 89 EXDUCER
STOCK EXHAUST WHEEL WITH A 1.15AR EXHAUST HOUSING

Let me know if we can get one going for ya.

Yup, nothing more than a stock turbo machined to fit a bigger compressor wheel. That's so extreme!!!! LOL
