Is this really just a 9.8 hotside?

Ok everyone I did a search and no luck. So pretty much I wsa cleaning out my garage and found an old evo 8 turbo I bought a while back and noticed the hotside number casted on the side is 78-13010 115 The question is, is this really just a 9.8 hotside? In size it seems that way but just wanna make sure.
Thanks in advance.

what is the code on the compressor housing. it should either have a 9.8t or a 10.5t on it.

The code ends in 9.8t on the compresor housing, but Im not sure if the person I bought it from switched out the hotside? Like I said it looks smaller than my 10.5 hotside, but I wasnt sure.

i thought when i got mine it said 10.5 on it as well.

maybe the 9.8 did not say nothing and the 10.5 did.

if it does not say 10.5 then its most likely a 9.8. the 10.5 hot sides say it

I have a 9.8 HS somewhere in the garage. I'll check it for you tomorrow when I get back home. The 10.5 HS has the numbers "105" cast onto the foot of the housing. The 9.0 housing which I just installed does not have the number "90" cast onto the housing though. So, maybe the 9.8 doesn't either.
