quick question, got a 97tsi awd auto, my old man picked up a turbo a front mount intercooler and a bov for pretty cheap, he wanted the intercooler and figured i could use the turbo, and if not from what i read honda guys run these turbos so no lost cash there, its a tdo4h 14g, (i poked around for a long time looking up part numbers and measuring, that is what it is) it isn't modded or hybridized, (its never been opened) 1. will it bolt to a stock cast manifold? and 2. what can i boost with this, my car has afc wideband and a mildly ported head but stock fuel system, its not a race car i just want to know this turbo's limitations, can i make 15psi? thanks
 
well during my research i found that there are lots and lots of tdo4h turbo's, minor differences in wheels and housings and in oil feed and cooling line configurations. for instance the dsm tdo4h has a 14b wheel is oil and water lubed/cooled the greddy tdo4h that my dad picked up for me (and you have to use the 10 digit part numbers to identify) the last set of digits is 00660 which after hours of looking at pdf files of parts books and stuff like that means a 14g and also it is only an oil fed turbo (no water lines or bungs for water fittings only oil) because it came off a honda, honda guys use this particular part number so they don't have to modify their stock water system, but it was cheap, and im going to make it work. and the last turbo on my car was also an oil only turbo so my water lines are plugged and rerouted already. but there are MANY different intake and exhaust wheel combinations within the different housing groups.

and slayer450, this turbo was ordered and used in a honda application (guy smoked some pistons, sold the setup) so it doesn't have water lines. my car already had a turbo that was setup like that so the water lines are already good to go. but the oil line for my old turbo came off the end of one of the galleries in the cyl. head to the turbo. is that where i should be feeding this turbo from or should it be from the stock location?, i know theres differences in pressures and flow in different parts of the engine and i don't wanna mess that up.

and im pretty handy with cuttin and welding devices so i can make a j pipe, and even a pretty one ; )

Yea thats perfect for what i want. Think i can run a little more boost by just increasing the injector size? I guess what I'm asking is what is the limit for a stock fuel pump?
