With 3 different motors across the 4.2L diesel Land Cruisers, and 3 different CT26 Turbos, it’s important you select the correct Toyota CT26 turbo for correct fitment.
Most turbocharger part numbers are usually found on a plate or tag located on the compressor (aluminum) side of the turbo.
The Toyota CT26 Turbo for Land Cruisers do not 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.
