Does the housing say TD04HL? Its kind of hard to tell by the small pic. If thats the case, its not a 14b, or 16g. It may be a 13g, or 15g.
 
This article has some theories on the exact same turbo. Consensus there says it's most likely a 15g turbo.
 
it says TDO4HL So does that mean its better than a 14b and will bolt right up ?

Oh man, you got a 13G! It's definitely smaller than a 14B. Sorry. What did the ad say?...did they claim it as a 16G? If so, I'd get my money back.
 
Ya its like a 13g my buddie had one on his auto 91 tsi. I looked into it and Tdo4hl is a jdm auto turbo little bigger then the 13g but smaller then a 14b.

Congrats on the downgrade.

Out of curiosity as we seem to have at least one "what turbo is this that I bought off eBay" thread a week, what led you down the path to buying an unknown turbo :confused: :dsm:
 
the tdo4 housing is a 9b, 13t/g, 15g, dr650 etc, A 14b 16g, etc are tdo5 housings. The 14b is larger. Id say find another one, and sell the to a 3000gt owner, it'll make thier day :p

I'd definitly do this. Sell it to a 3kgt owner, and buy a actual upgrade. And next time try to do your research before you buy any part, especially something like a turbo.
