Looks like a Garret turbo off of a non inter cooled Ford 2.3. Correct?

It's been a few months. I'm not a professional mechanic...just I guy with some ideas and some tools ! Didn't make it to The Rainbow corvair show . Long story short , I wasn't patient and blew my engines a couple days before the show. Since that I have the car up and running again and taking it slow on checking and rechecked Afm's 🤞So far so good.Tune is set for 8psi , so I'm told horsepower should be 240ish

That thing has got to scoot with an SR20 with a turbo.

Adding some goodies to engine and rearranging things as well . I swapped intake from the fwd
Sr20de to a rwd intake from a s13 SR20det . Moved and replaced intercooler from fender to rear of car
Do some testing... than bigger injectors---370cc to 520cc , new Greddy turbo , 3" exhaust,and new
Tune . Right now at 8 psi . Not sure yet but might push to 15 to 20 psi if tuner can do boost by gear

Unfortunately the San Diego Corvair convention is cancelled due to this world wide virus 😞
Hope and pray this is over soon !

I am lucky enough to have a friend like Chuck Russ who has one of the most recognizable V8 Corvair on the net.He was nice in selling me his old rims & tires ,Toyo R888’s !
And I’m trying to learn how to tune my Nismotronics ecu for the Sr20 . Chucks car is going to be insane!!
Full Corvette suspension and transaxle setup!

Here are some pics of some of what I’ve got done
