Yeap, ct26's say TOYOTA CT26 on the side. CT20b's just say TOYOTA. That's about $800 you got for freeassuming it's in good shape, and there's a pretty noticable difference between the two... LUCKY!

iunno on the other boards i was told that the ct20b have 7 bolts on the rear and i only have 6 frown.gif ct26. but they were like yeah ct20bs just say toyota. so. either its a ct26 with a ct20b cold side? or maybe its a super rare 1337 jdm ct20b. i keed i keed.
so yeah. confused. so im leaning towards plain old jdm ceramic ct26

I have no direct knowledge here but everything I have read has indicated the stud pattern is the key.

thats not a ct20b if it has 7 studs.
some of the '26's only have toyota on them.
what year is the clip john?


CT20B left, CT-26 right

Pressure2: Thats a modded ct20b turbine wheel though..why is the wheel nut grinded down smooth with the wheel? Never seen that before. As far as i know CT20b's have 7 stud exhaust housings. Also look at the part number on the housing... CT26 says 74030 and CT20b says 74040 .

sorry bro thats a ct-26, the ct-20, really got your hopes up huh..the ct-26 has a smaller snail shell turbine..the ct-20 has a bigger one...did you get the wrc st185 clip or motor.. cause the turbo on it doesn't have the ct-26. the st-205 turbo is the ct-20 turbo it doesn't have it either . but the wrc s-185 turbo doesnt either but it does have forge piston and other stuff...
