is this the Evo III 16g? I'm bidding on it on ebay and the guy says its a Evo III but i was looking at pictures of other 16g's and it doesn't look the same if anyone can help quickly that would be great so i can stop bidding thanks.

Yes, That is an evo 16g. Look at the turbine housing at the top on the flange where the manifold bolts to, It is not a regular ''square'' like normal 16g's. Also Look at the o2 housing/turbine housing flange, The look at a normal one.

Alright i was just wondering because I was bidding on the Evo III 16g gt then i became aware that. Well thanks for the help now i feel safe about buying this. I really appreciate it.

if it were me, Id ask the guy if it was polished because there is no lettering on it, and Yea its a evoIII but still just ask, could be an evoIII gt or somthing you may not want.

I asked him but there is only like an hour left for bidding so i dont know if he will write back in time ill post more pictures can you tell if its a gt by these pics?

 

[andytalon]

[maxtsitalon]

click on them and they get as big as i can get em

 

[andytalon]

nope dont work i think it got messed up when they worked on the site

 

[maxtsitalon]

No i cant i cant get them to work at all now

 

[andytalon]

wats the url for the ebay item?

 

[maxtsitalon]

I dont know what a url is exactly but the item number is 8027264358

 

[andytalon]

its an evo im 100% sure, up to you watever you wanna do, I cant tell if its a GT or a real evo, up to you, its a good deal though..

 

[maxtsitalon]

How high would you bid?

 

[andytalon]

yea i looked at it I dont think its a good idea to even buy it, I wouldnt buy a used turbo to begin with, if you want one just get a new one, but I wouldnt get a EvoIIGT (from what I hear, do a search if you dont already know)

I looked at the compresser cover and for some reason the writing on it doesnt look like anything Ive seen, could anyone back me up? mine looks a bit different...

Just get the $500, and get a new one you dont know how that guy took care of it,

 

[maxtsitalon]

I looked at other compressor covers too and none of them look like this one. I guess im just worried its going to be the gt and i've read about those.

 

[maxtsitalon]

there are no cracks/leaks, etc., no shaft play, and it is not a mitsu turbo, the good thing however is that xs replaces their turbos without a reciept so you basically get like a yr warrenty


this is what he just wrote me

 

[andytalon]

Up to you, Idk what to tell you, if it has a warrenty I guess its good. Up to you.

Good luck
if ya need anythin Pm me anytime

That comp cover has no TDO5H stamp on it. Also, on the front of the comp cover it narrows near the outlet. It doesnt resemble any the pics of GTs and normal 16Gs ive seen. They appear to be 16g blades however.

I would steer clear of this thing and pick up a new 16g from one of our many aftermarket performance comapanies. The 16G's are everywhere and prices sure are competitive.
