I'm sorry but that response was classic

thanks does anyone have a good true evo 3 big 16g they want to get rid of?

or 18g or 20g

How badly is your Evo III 16G blown? If there's no wheel damage it can be rebuilt for much less than the cost of a new one.

idk it spools but it wont boost the car. the turbo glows red after 5 minutes and takes like 45 minutes to an hour to stop glowing. im only running 12 lbs on it.

I have a 20g for sale. I will PM you.

Shaft play? Perhaps the shaft is bent?

no shaft play. weirdest thing ever. my buddy said 4 yrs of dsm experience he has never seen this happen before. im interested in the 20g also

Sounds like a tuning issue more than anything with the turbo, but that doesn't explain no boost unless the shaft broke.

I don't have any Evo III's at my shop, but I believe there's one Big 16G and a 20G or two down there. Demands for MHI turbos have shifted toward Holset so I haven't been stocking as many rebuilt MHI units lately...not to mention the deals on the MHI rebuildable turbo cores just haven't been there.

another question, is there a difference between TDO5H and TDO6H? and what is it, the turbo flange/manifold?

Turbine size. It means the difference between a turbo that spools fast or offers additional airflow on the hotside to support large compressor wheels.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries builds the turbos that are used on our cars. Holset builds turbos that are generally used on diesel applications, but can be adapted to work on our cars with great success.

No offense, but if you don't know the basics such as available turbine sizes and what they mean you may just want to stick with a replacement turbo of the same size.

Pretty sure MHI is Mitsu. Hybrid and Holset is another type of turbo found on big diesel trucks. Search this site you will find lots of info on either.

I know that but what i mean is what would fit on my application for a 20g a TDO5H or TDO6H....does it matter?

and also the 20g bolts right on correct? so i can leave the turbo manifold on the car

-Second; again, it won't work on your car....the inlet and outlet are on the wrong side, and the turbo rotates the wrong direction.

i am confused by the TURBO ROTATES THE WRONG DIRECTION part of this statement.

please explain because i don't get that.

Notice anything unusual regarding the shape of the wheels?


Evo III 16G:




Evo VIII 16G:

I have a TDO5H evo 3 big 16g. does that mean i HAVE to get a TDO5H 20g turbo??

If you want to use the 20G in your existing turbine housing, then yes.

If you're swapping the entire turbo including the exhaust housing, then no.

No it doesn't. As long as the turbo has a Mitsu inlet flange on it it will be a bolt on, as far as mani to turbo goes. Sounds like you want all your simple questions answered on a silver platter. I suggest reading the many sources of info my friend. Or ppl are going to start getting agravated.

Thanks I really appreciate you answering my questions. I am thinking of ordering a 20g and I'll let you know how everything goes
