Check to make sure it's an IHI turbo - the earlier t-coupes used a much larger Garrett which no good for hybrid use
I wanna say it was 88/89's with the IHIs but could have been 87 as well

It was 87 and 88. 89 Was the first year for re-designed 'Bird.
Pretty easy to tell. The correct turbo should say "WARNER ISHI" on top of "IHI TURBO" on the compressor housing. It should also have a curved compressor inlet that is bolted to the compressor housing.
I may be interested if you pull it.

85-86 is a Garret Super 60. Not a bad turbo but will do nothing for an IHI hybrid unless you are an accomplished machinist. You could use the chra and compressor and find a suitable T3 turbine housing but then you would need an adapter to fit the B6t/IHI flanged exhaust manifold. The Tbird turbine housing is of no use unless you have a 2.3L Ford.

Yea, 87 is definitely the IHI. The Garrett is on 85-86 TC's.

Do you still have the compressor housing? I just picked up a VJ11/Tbird hybrid that has no turbine or compressor housing.
