If it says TD05H it's real bro.

This isn't true anymore. Some of the Ebay ones also say TDO5H on them now so you need to be careful. In general NO real 16g turbos came with an adjustable wastegate arm. Post pictures and we can identify it for sure.

so i inspected the housing and found out that its in fact a real MHI turbo
its an evo1 b16g... the numbers read as followed : 49178-01450
the "45" is stamped on it and it does have a TDO5H on it as well.

thanx for the help guys.
