It is a "g" style compressor with alternating height blades and TD05H meaning its a 16g variant. It has a 52 stamped on the compressor housing which I think is a small 16g.

49178-0xx00

52=small 16g
42=big 16g
47=evo3 16g

Been a while, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Def. a 16G! Congrats!

 

[r1991_4g63t]

no congrats yet but cross your fingers

The cover denotes a Small 16G (49178-05200) but that is NOT a 16G compressor wheel. 16G wheels don't have (7) comrpessor blades.

Maybe an 18g or 20g compressor wheel stuffed in there? It does kind of look like the compressor inlet may have been opend up a bit....

Where did you get this turbo from? Looks as it is a custom setup. Like he said above that is not a 16g wheel. You can also tell that the compressor cover has been hogged out to fit the much larger wheel it has in there. Looks like it could be a garrett compressor wheel as a lot of those have 7 blades. Depending on the price I would pick it up and see what it does!! Good Luck!!

thanx for all the input guys, was told it was a 14b, pretty sure it wasn't so im gonns try to pick this up

I had a 16G in my possession once that had the cover machined out and an old 7-fin GT30R compressor wheel was wedged in there. Made for a HELL of a sleeper turbo.

Ahhh, that sucks balls! I was going to guess that maybe it was a "bastard 20g" but i don't know enough about the 20g wheel design off the top of my head to know for sure (# of blades etc... ) That would have made a crazy ass sleeper turbo for sure.... That's kind of the route I'm going for with my next turbo.. wanting a 20g wheel or similar with a small hot side for insta-spool

I love my 57 trim but looking for something a little more sneaky and quicker spooling.. Too bad you missed out on that.. Does that mean you can buy some of the beer this weekend unfortunately?

My woman's turbo is a plain t3, but the compressor housing was machined out and we stuffed a 46 trim t4 wheel in it with a bulleted shaft...nice and sneaky like

Sorry for your loss. It's salt in the wound knowing he was selling it as a 14b when it was actually something much more.

yep
