With 3 different motors across the 4.2L diesel Land Cruisers, and 3 different CT26 Turbos, it’s important you select the correct turbo correct fitment.
Most turbocharger part numbers are usually found on a plate or tag located on the compressor (aluminum) side of the turbo.
The Turbo for Land Cruisers do not generally have this OEM (Original End Manufacturer) number located here.
There is usually the casting identifier (CT26 only) visible as a casting in the aluminum of the compressor shell.
The CT26 compressor shell is used on a number of different turbo configurations, so it is not accurate to use CT26 to determine the correct unit for your vehicle.

The above information can be useful to identify correct turbochargers for your vehicle.
But in rare cases the vehicle may have been fitted with a non factory turbocharger.
