Obviously this turbo needs rebuilt I am not sure what size Turbo this is. Maybe a 20G stock Mitsubishi Turbo? If so the horsepower rating of the turbo would be 500 hp? Basically I wanted to know if its bigger then the usual stock ones with a recirculation pipe.

I would also pass on it.

20g's aren't exactly the greatest turbo for huge power numbers anymore. The multitude of 50/60 trims, 35/37/42/xx/R turbos, FP series turbos, etc. all outperform the 20g much more efficiently, and are easier to obtain and service.
 
I would say the seller doesn't want potential buyers to know exactly what turbo it is. If a guy is selling a part from a car and can't (won't) tell you what it is, that's your first clue that you probably shouldn't buy it, unless you know EXACTLY what it is.
 
As above really, pretty clear even without looking at part number thats a TD04 or small TD05 turbo, miles too small, and nothing special even at the power they can do.

Looks very old too, and hell, look inside the inlet, a LOT of oil and dirt, its either already dead, or sure as hell will be soon injesting all that crap into the compressor.
Certainly not a well looked after turbo, as even if that oil and crap didnt come from the turbo, it got sucked through the cars breather pipes, and dont look healthy at all.

Scrap.
 
Here is more pictures still wondering the size of the turbo? What size turbo come stock in 1G DSM?

I don’t know how to find out the size of this turbo (the pictures that I provided) anyone know what size turbo and how much better or worse then a stock turbo it is?
 
DSM: Top Ten FAQ. I would look there and measure the inlet and try to match it up to one of those. It looks really small to me so it will be one of the ones in the beginning of the list.
 
Yep that is a TD05 12a. Smaller turbine wheel and compressor wheel than a 14b. What's worse there are 8cm^2 and 6cm^2 turbine housings on the 12a turbos. The 6cm^2 housing with the td05 turbine wheel would be a significant choke vs. a 6cm^2 housing with td05h turbine wheel (which is what the 14b has).
