Lotus Turbo - 90 SE - Got any pictures?

[rlearp]

I'm looking for some pictures of a Lotus Esprit Garrett turbo, 1989-1995. What I'd like are some photos of the flange that mates to the exhaust manifold, so, pictures of the turbine stage where it meets the manifold. With some pics I could compare to other Garrett units to see what the deal is.

I just can't believe that this section is Lotus specific (well, actually I can). I'm looking for a replacement turbo and it seems to me with all that is available on Ebay and all over I should be able to get a rebuildable core. I've also got lines out to JC Engineering and other places too.

If you know of pictures, have them, please send me a link or email them to me. Thanks a bunch,

Ron

Is there something wrong with the flange on your SE.

I guess I can take some pictures of my turbo tomorrow when it is light outside. I also have a page from the parts manual.

Nothing wrong with mine, just trying to find out what, if anything, makes the Lotus turbo specific. I mean, it appears to be a normal Garrett that I've dealt with in the past. 4 blot rectangular flange and all, but I've read here and there it is a "Lotus Only" turbo.

Just trying to find out what makes it Lotus only. If it turns out to be something like a divider in the turbine stage then so what, no big deal. But, if it turns out to be something like a 6 bolt oddly spaced bolt pattern to the exhaust manifold then it is a big deal. I haven't taken mine off to look at it yet and am trying to find oneone who has good photos.
