prolly a chineses knock off version. i bought one off ebay and now that i think of it, i bet it was a knock off. thanksfully it wasnt reason the car i used it on died lol. that being the case, if it works, stick with it. why would you change it anyways? what manifold? looking for more power?

It's possible the previous owner sanded and polished off the compressor casting marks. I've done that for a nice smooth polished look, but the CHRA still should have something. No raised "T" symbol anywhere?

Good news! Keep it, you can upgrade to ball bearing and stuff later if needed. Probably old since there´s no logo on the compressor, they had a tiny (easy to remove) sign before that. Will push around 500hp with the right turbine housing.
