How cheap is this 16g???? Pics...

[tsi40422]

I bought this turbo a while back, I know real EVOIII 16Gs don't have a stamp like this on them, how much would you pay for this??? Hardly any shaft play also


And what's with this funky lookin exhaust housing????

How would I hook up the part that looks cut off?

It's a POS ebay turbo. They die really fast most of the time.

Kinda knew but wasn't 100 positive on it being a eBay one

It doesn't hook to anything, its an O2 dump when the waste gate opens it dumps to atmosphere. You need a recirculated o2 housing if you don't want it like that.

What is "hardly any shaft play"
in/out or side to side?

The inducer fins on compressor wheel are damaged

id say for 50 bucks atleast you got that o2 housing. Not bad. Never heard an open dump 1st hand.
Comp wheel does look like shit. Maybe you can use the wg? I dont know, but for 50 bucks, even though its ebay junk, it may have some use. Who knows

 

[tsi40422]

As in it doesn't move in or out and up and down it you're really really checking it out you might say it budges but i would consider it hardly any to none

Ha ha it's funny they actually engraved "DSM" into the markings on the turbo.

As stated, the compressor fins look damaged and the rest of the turbo will likely go out in a "destroy everything fashion". I would not bolt that up at all imho.

Trade it for a good 14b

$50 isn't bad, I would think you could rebuild it at least (eBay), or maybe make money on the 02 housing depending on condition / quality

Hook it up to the lawn mower!

Yea i was like DSM EVO III then I was like fake..... -__-

Not bad for $50, I would rebuild it an go to town. The o2 dump alone is worth abot $75 give or take.

Not bad for $50, id recommend getting it rebuilt, i remember seeing justin on here rebuild a ebay turbo, using real mhi internals or something similar, im not sure what the outcome was or how its holding up but id pm him and ask if thats something that hed recommend again, seemed like a cool dude definitely really helpful and answered alot of my questions when i was looking at turbochargers

What usually goes out on these cheap turbos????

I would keep the 7cm housing and o2 dump and trash the rest. They are worth the 50$ you spent.

The bearings fail causing the wheels to meet the housings which results in a paperweight.

id keep the 7cm housing and grab a 14b and put it on it. either that or MAYBE rebuild it, but your probally better off with a 14b.

and either keep or sell the o2 dump. fyi the o2 dumps are VERY LOUD under boost.

i am also curious to see how that ebay turbo justin rebuilt with mhi parts is holding up.

 

[tsi40422]

From what I understand the 14b internals will fit right in with this

You understand wrong.

You can, however, use an entire 14B turbo in this knockoff turbine housing.

 

[Bud92gsx]

From what I understand the only good thing about that turbo is the turbine housing, and possibly the WG..Clean the rest up, and make a paperweight.

Do not try rebuilding with MHI parts.It can be done but not woth your time.
