Hey guys, i got my cyclone in the other day and i was stoked to see it had a 16g, but i looked up top and it had no yellow top injectors, theyre like light blu or green tops. Can anyone tell me what this motor came out of? Also i realized that the previous owner must have done some work to the turbo because both were marked (TD05H) but the air inlet to the turbines was bigger (bored out i guess) on my old turbo and i had bigger impellers on my old turbo(like 5 doubled together ones instead of several single ones like the JDM. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
 
I know the double blade deal is supposed to spool faster. I dunno about the injectors or what car it came from Galant maybe?
 
JDM motors come from Galants. Blue top injectors are 450cc's I believe. Single finned turbos are not 16g's; they are 14b's. TDO5 doesn't signify a 16g turbo. Pics would help verify but it sounds like a 14b.

That would make more sense if the JDM had a 14b like i thought it would come with, but why is it that my old turbo that i know is a 16g is the same size as the JDM 14b. What is the difference between a 14b and a 16g? The impellers and inlet size perhaps? Thanx 4 ur help.
