TDO5 49178-05000 is a?

[Absit]

S/N is 49178-05000
It's clearly a G wheel, TDO5 housing. Everything I've seen shows 5000 is just TD05, seller claims it's a Big 16g because that's what he was told it was. I'm looking at buying it for my 2g tomorrow but need to know exactly what it is so I can set a price.

I bow to the turbo master. I haven't seen a lot of talk on small 16gs, I'm looking at picking up this and an evo3 exhaust manifold for $150 and my power goals are not ambitious, the car will spend a lot more time as a daily driver and autocrosser than at the drag strip, never higher than 350 AWHP I guess. The seller also has a 14b in good condition for $75, is that the better option?

Since when is a 14B a better option than any 16G?

Get the turbo and manifold, bolt it on your car, and enjoy 14B-like spool with 16G pull, even at lower boost levels.


Since you're able to see the turbo in person, use this as a guide:
