What is this? A Triple-K K22????

[JShadzi at aol.com]

That's a 3LDZ KKK turbo, early 911 turbo, very  big, similar to a K27, but older and less efficient, its really a diesel truck turbo, I wouldn't use it in a 2.2 unles you like making power above 5krpm. They sell all the time on ebay, check it out.
