Difference between 14b and 16g

[fastestdsm]

I recently bought my dsm and I completely forgot to ask the previous owner which turbo he had in there, so I assumed it was a 14b because a dsm guru told me so, but I wanted to make sure, hopefully its a 16g.

The turbo says t0511 on the compressor housing, could it be a 16g? or is it a 14b, I ordered a camera so I can take pics soon, but if anyone can tell by the label ### let me know. thanks

00ps, it mustve been a H, 11 does look like an h .

Take off the intake tube and look at the blades on the compressor wheel, if there stepped it's a 16g if there all the same it's a 14b.

what do you mean by stepped? you mean if the blades are different??

If I take a pic of the wheel would you know what it is?

If they are "doubled" with one blade higher than the other.

td05h is only the designation of the compressor housing. There should be a series of other numbers on the housing as well. There are a couple that are actually stamped/etched into the metal that will tell you what turbo it is.

The blades on a 16g wheel go "high low high low high low"

This is a 14b....

ok thanks guys, I will check tomorrow forsure what kind it is, either way I will be upgrading to 50 trim, just wanted to know which one I had so Id know how much id get for it when I sold it, now how do I tell the difference between the b16g and a small 16g

You can tell the 16g's apart by the numbers on the compressor housing.

49178 - 01520 = Small 16G
49178 - 01420 = Big 16G
49178 - 01470 = EVO III 16G
