I'm not much a turbo person, but from what I can see is that the vt50 is used on the older models of the NH and NT engines

HT3B is used on 855 MARINE, FORMULA VT-300 , KTA-38 , and the N-14 engines

I tried to see if i can get a breakdown of the components and I come up with nothing on the vt50, we do have a vt50 , when I looked at it, it is allot larger than the ht3b, the vt50 looks closer to a hx80.

the vt50 that we have, the exhaust hooks directly to a 3 inch pipe instead of the original manifold type bolt on flange.
