I have a tdo5h turbo, is this a 14b or a 16g? I thought a 14b was a td04h......
Fixed.As a general rule the TD04 has a 13G compressor wheel, the TD04HL has a 15G compressor, and a TD05H turbo could have a few different compressor wheels ranging from a 14B to a 20G.
From the factory, the TD05H turbos found on manual 1G's were all 14B's but could be upgraded by machining / replacing the compressor cover and enlarging the wheel groove in the backplate.
The 13G wheel is used on all TD04/H/HL DSM applications which came from the factory with the part number beginning in 49177:as far as dsm's are concerned every Tdo4hl I've seen has had a 13g wheel.


Unfortunately not- I've never had a 13T compressor in my personal possession.Do you have measurements of the second wheel?
Not sure what you mean by this- I didn't edit anything. If I had edited beyond the first few minutes (well before your response some 2-1/2 hours later), you would've seen a message at the bottom showing that the post had been edited along with the time it was edited like post #4 where I added the info about the TD05H turbos.Edit I walked back to my computer after about an hour or two and I guess you edited your post?
So just by looking at the outside of the turbo's you couldnot tell the difference between a 14b and a 16g right?
