[JTURBOGSX]

I recently won this turbo off ebay and im waiting for it to come in I cannot tell if its a 16g or a 14b I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I belive its a 16 because of the dual blades but I could be wrong.. thanks

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.

 

[Whiplash]

I did not know a 15g existed.

 

[1gcrazy]

You didn't know what kind of turbo you were buying?
You're brave man. That or dumb. I think we'll just leave it at brave though

 

[MrBoxx]

This article has some theories on the exact same turbo. Consensus there says it's most likely a 15g turbo.

 

[JTURBOGSX]

it says TDO4HL So does that mean its better than a 14b and will bolt right up ?

 

[tsi20gawd]

11B or a 13G maybe?

Its most likely smaller than a 14b.

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.

Why in the hell would you bid on something and not know what it is? Why not bring this question up BEFORE you bid on it? If you havent paid for it, then dont.

 

[94awdcoupe]

Thats the automatic dsm turbo. 13g

 

[TurboAnything]

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

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

they do, 3000gt guys love them

 

[1993eclipseGS]

Wow. At least you can start a new turbo project with it, On a lawmower, Gocart etc. Other then that, It would make a great doorstop, Paperweight, anchor, weapon, Etc.

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.
