Quick stupid question. Does the s16g use the same compressor as the 14b?

I saw a picture of a 14b turbo, and on the compressor housing, it said "TD05H." I have what is supposedly an SBR small 16g, and the compressor housing says "TD05H." Does the s16g use the same compressor as the 14b, or is my turbo in fact a 14b?

Yes, the s16g used the TD05H compressor cover as well.

Thanks for clarifying that, I didn't know for sure.

Not a problem. I want to say that both the small and big 16g's use the TD05H covers actually.

All 16G's use a TD05 housing, including Evo III's like mine.

Heck, even the sbr bastard uses the tdo5 housing.

Just tell everyone that you are still on the stock turbo and then beat them. Oh and why the small, the e316g is about the same price and has way better performance.

The 14bs blades are all straight and the same size. The 16Gs blades are slightly curved and staggered in pairs.

To clerify, the 14B compressor is not like the small 16g compressor at all. See http://www.stealth316.com/2-turboguide.htm#c.

14B inducer diameter: 1.695"
14B exducer diameter: 2.285"
14B trim: 55

Small 16G inducer diameter: 1.830"
Small 16G exducer diameter: 2.365"
Small 16G trim: 60

TD05H refers to the turbine wheel/housing for which the compressor housing was originally manufatured. The serial numbers on each compressor cover is different. A Small 16g compressor housing is too wide where the wheel rotates for the 14b compressor wheel to function properly. The Small 16g wheel will not fit in an unmachined 14b compressor housing. I have a 14b housing (as noted by the matching serial number on it) machined to accept an 18g wheel. To determine if your TD05H is a 14b:

1. Do a search for the serial number. If it matches the number on your turbo then it is likely that you have a 14b.
2.If you have only one set of blades and not a second lower set in between the higher ones (like in the above picture), then your now even more sure that you have a 14b.
3. Finally, you can measure the inducer diameter (the diameter of the wheel that you can see when looing into the turbo intake; see above picture). If it comes out to about 1 and 11/16 of an inch then you definately have a 14b.

If you determine that you do not have a 14B compressor, then the above mentioned link will assist you in determining what compressor wheel you do have... And what turbine wheel you have, as well.
