Casting #'s on Turbos

I found some turbos on ebay, but they look HUGE, like way too big for our trucks. Can anyone tell me if either of these would even fit, and/or work well on my 89?

First one is for a "C" series 8.3 liter Cummins, second is an electronically controlled turbo. I'd pass on both.

RedWhite... Your best bet would be any Holset HX series...

the number after the "HX" gives you an idea of the size of the turbine outlet flange...

for example:

HX35=3.5"
HX40=4.0"
HX50=5.0"
& so on...

These turbos are the most popular, so they are easy to get your hands on them...
The big dawg 50, 60, 70, 80 series turbos are just too much turbo for a street driven 5.9.
