pickedup my EVO 16g+EVO o2 housing 100$

[bradcurtis15]

well the deal was as good as it seemed and i couldnt resist, the dude told me he upgraded from a 16g to 60trim so he didnt need this anymore

 

[ed1380]

thats an amazing deal. got a pic of the central housing?

 

[KazooGS-T]

Looks like an ebay turbo?

 

[genegoesfast]

The compressor housing at least is 100% Chinese/eBay. I'm assuming the rest is too, but decent deal none the less.

 

[gho5tone]

You know man that does not look like a real MHI turbo.

 

[hurricanecris24]

I remember you posting about this turbo. You just bought paperweight

 

[motozachl]

crap turbo. lets see the downpipe and o2 housing

 

[bradcurtis15]

you dont think this turbos any good???? reallly? I thought it would give me some more poweer compared to my dinosaur 14b

 

[kraig milton]

I would keep the 14b for backup to say the least

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

I'd take a 20 year old 14b over a brand new ebay 16g any day of the week. Some have had good luck with these but if it's used... have you checked it for shaft play? If you're going to use it, definitely keep your dinosaur 14b around for backup.

I had a similar case to you, where on craigslist a guy was posting a "REAL" evo 3 16g and complete front mount inter cooler setup with greddy BOV for $300. It was for a 1g and I didnt have the $300 but I offered the guy $150 for just the turbo. I went to pick it up, and to my surprise it was real. the serial numbers all match so I am very thank full for the deal I got

 

[kraig milton]

Oh well honestly the downpipe and o2 are still worth 100. I would use them with the 14b

 

[little-razcal]

These are hit and miss. I really depends on what company built it. A "paper wieght" is a little harsh to say. You very well could slap this on and make more power than the 14B. I'm not saying this is the best turbo choice, but you may be happy with it for now. If it does fail, it's only $100. Next time brother man, do your reserch more.

+1. I even sent you a link with all the 16g serial numbers to make sure it was legit.

caca turbo, when it explodes and blows your head dont say dsm are crap. you got to pay to play

 

[norcal_drifter]

i once bought a REAL mhi 16g off of a dsm crack head for 20 bucks! best deal of my life!

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Go ahead and rock it. But just check on it often say every oil change. Check for play and stuff like that...
I heard these turbo will last a while but at baby boost where it's not happy.
happy boosting

 

[bradcurtis15]

well Im thinking about just taking the HOTSIDE off this turbo and putting it on my 14b... I don't really wanna have to swap my turbo all the time to be honest... and If I can make my 14b better I guess it was work the 100.... I will just use the o2 housing+hotside with my 14b until I find something better

 

[little-razcal]

I don't believe it will fit. You can try, but I believe these turbo's specs are a little different. They may look the same but they have to make suddle differences to make it "thier own". You can certainly try or you can certainly post it back on CL and start over. EVO III's are abundent.

 

[bradcurtis15]

I looked into it, TD05H's are all very similar the 14b as a 6cm hot side the 16g a 7cm, with the 16g hot side you can make your turbo good for 300hp so I suppose I can make my 14b get a little extra spool until I decide to get something bigger like a 20g !

 

[tcouty87]

Atleast the Downpipe and O2 housings are worth the bucks. Gonna have to change more than just the hotside if you're gonna keep the 14b parts for all the rest. Would pretty much be the same if you tweaked you're MBC since the intake side is the same.

You lost me

orrrrr how about you just buy a big turbo and be done with it? slap on a holset or a 60 trim not these baby turbos.

I fail to see how a turbo going bad is going to blow your head... But that's just me. It's virtually impossible for compressor wheel fragments to make it to the engine, there is a lot of piping, including an intercooler that it would have to make it through.

And that's why people say DSM's are unreliable... People slap on a "big turbo" and don't do any supporting mods, great advice.
