2G Small 16g

This guy posted a small 16g on facebook for 320. Says it's from an evo 9 but I dont see any letting on the outside of the compressor. Planned on buying tomorrow but now I'm second guessing. Thoughts comments?

here is a picture. I just want to be sure it is what he is claiming since I dont have much knowledge in this area.

That's a reverse rotation turbo, and if it's a stock Evo 9 turbo, it's a standard 16g compressor size.

It won't work on your engine without significant modifications, so not really worth it unless you want to play with getting it to work and can pay half that.
I fiddled with an Evo 8/9 turbo setup for a bit, but shelved it a while ago. I've seen another thread that someone got it to work, but you have to delete power steering, and have a custom downpipe and o2 housing.

Twin scroll is great, but your better of starting with an Evo x turbo and modified manifold vs the 8/9 stuff.

Oh okay I thought it was a small 16g. Was gonna slap it on with some light mods after fixing a couple things with the car that need addressing. I read a small 16g is a decent upgrade with proper mods. Thanks thunder!

I'm putting a billet compressor small 16g on my talon as we speak, they're great turbos, but the Evo 8+ ones aren't bolt on.

Can always send a 14b core to Justin Whitesell and have him make you a small 16g.

Thanks for the info man. Yeah from what I've read the small 16g is nice for that quick spool and is more efficient. I've had many different plans for my talon but I think I'm gonna get it running properly then put some 550 and a 255 fuel pump and new afpr along with exhaust and ecmlink and wideband and start there. Kind of stage it and get my feet wet so I know what I'm doing when I shoot for bigger numbers

Good plan, kinda how I've done it. I ran a 14b for a looooong time till now, and it's a good turbo, just moving up. But I have every supporting mod and more to handle anything I throw at it. Keep at it and stick to you plan!

Thanks man! Money is tight so I plan to save on the side then install things at once that an all at once type of thing, idk how to explain haha. Make it easier for myself!

Evo IX turbo with zero hope of fitting a DSM. It faces the wrong direction and spins the wrong direction as well....and these have the same compressor spec as an Evo III 16G so it's a lot of custom work have a chance at getting one installed when you can just bolt an Evo III 16G on and go with the same compressor potential.
