Borgwarner turbos that is...looks like a huge exhaust side and a puny compressor...good for automotive use?

the exhaust side looks like a twin scroll.... I could be wrong BUT- if they are, they should spool like CRAZY. Does it say where they're from?
The level of detail is pitiful...but its starting at $50, and from what I can tell auction lots often go for their starting bid. At that price, does it matter where they came from?
Web search doesn't turn up much info. I believe it was off of a tank. And someone on the Dragtimes website is trying to sell a couple and says a pair made 1147 hp on his "buddy's" big-block Mustang. So, you know, no real information that I can find in two minutes.
Probably best to just buy them and figure out how to mount on an F2T.

No, no it doesn't.
I think that whatever you plan on doing with them won't work I should prevent you from making a mistake.
Or
number b) Gas turbine.
EDIT: yes they are twin scroll.
It looks like the Borg 191812 came off a deuce and a half with a LDA engine
The Schwitzer C1192A probably came off a deuce with either a Hercules 478 or Detroit 83VT
That's what my google-fu is showing me anyways.
Good turbo for a big motor that pumps out a lot of exhaust but you don't want a high relative pressure while still needing good spool and moderate cfm. Maybe something like an old big block with relatively stock internals.
Or a Diesel engine...or a rotary
2 liter 4 banger?
Rough math for a turbo. Turbos work on flow so if the turbo falls off the map at 3000 rpm's on an 8 liter engine. It should be good for 6000 rpm's on a 4 liter engine.
I was taught that simple trick while working at Holset. It's not fool proof, but a good rough way to figure out if a turbo will work or not

Yup, I too have experience w/the Holset, adapting diesel turbos to gasoline engines isn't hard, just have calculate your flow rates...
So if you click on more info, those things are HUGE: TEXT GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS ITEM DESCRIPTION STEEL,9.807 IN. LG OVERALL,AIR INLET 2.810 IN. DIAOVERALL,EXHAUST OUTLET 3.720 IN. DIA OVERALLEXHAUST INLET 5.318 IN. LG. BY 3.260 IN. W.FOUR MOUNTINNG HOLES 0.406 IN. DIA.
I'm wondering if the acquisition value was for each, which I would expect it is...
oh yeah: ANK 2 1/2 TON VEHICLE CONFIGURATION, MULTI FUEL (TACTICAL VEHICLES)
