Picked up a "new" turbo housing
One of my buddies used to have an OBS and he put on a 1.00 housing. But he went to the dark side and bought a dodge and so he gave me is old housing but he couldnt remember if it was the 1.15 or the 1.00 housing. How can i tell which one it is?

Ah ok well that was easier than i expected, Thanks Tim and Neal
So i just went and checked it and it a 1.15, but it sat in the back of my truck for a few days and it rained. So now it has a bunch or surface rust on it. Is it safe to sand blast it, and if so should i stay away from certain areas? And do you think that powder coating would stand up on that, cuz i can get it sprayed for free as long as i prep it.

I sprayed mine with 1200° paint from wally world and it has held up ok. Powder coat won't stay on. It will burn off I am sure.
