What is the # engraved on the shiny machined surface?

That is probably the part # you will locate something with.

KB used ot engrave their part# that identified the wheel and exhaust housing used.

Up for auction is a Mitsubishi turbo for the GMC Syclone/Typhoon. I purchased it believing it was a Turbonetics unit, but it was misrepresented. It worked great on the truck. Special thanks to jrt1357 for his clarifying question. The turbo has approximately 15,000 miles on it, and is sold AS IS. I do not know the stats on this turbo, but it is a direct bolt-on for these trucks. The shaft spins freely, and there was nothing wrong with it when I took it off. I sold the truck, so I have no need for this. Low starting price and no reserve. I DO NOT accept Paypal

same compressor housing I've seen on 20g's, looks like a 20g compressor wheel too... most like the exhaust housing is a 14cm along with a tdo6H turbine wheel. The 14 will be in the exhaust housing inlet if it hasnt been ported out too much.

The number not visiable is in my post, the other number is pretty easy to see in the pic.
What other number might I need? I did a google on them and found some real old unanwsered posts and guess's. But I can't get any other pic's (exhaust side) or info.
If it's 20g 14 then it will require a stall and there was a lot of innaccurate info in the auction so I wonder about the real condition and actual miles. But the fella was honest and corrected his auction about it being a Turbonetics Stage 2, I will give him that :tup: .
