What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[halik008]

probably a t28 with a polish + elbow weld

T-28?.....not at all.....

 

[EclipseSH21]

Yeah, looks to be the XS Engineering 16G Killer, after looking at the RRE comparison page. Thanks a ton guys. Also, didn't know this was like a 1200 dollar turbo, i got it for 100 bucks with zero shaftplay

 

[fredom dsm]

Whats up guys, I was wondering what size turbo is this, I serched and this is what I found.

49178-01410= 14b
49178-01420= big 16g
49178-01470= Evo3

So what is this? 48178-05200WTF. That is what I have on my tsi, thanks for all the help.

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

Yeah just post a picture and it will be a ton easier to identify. Or inlet size, number of fins, dual or single fins?

 

[fredom dsm]

I know for sure it has dual fins and the inlet size is 2in, 12 fins, 6 big and 6 small. Please let me know.

 

[weith1111]

Are you sure that's a 48 and not 49???

49178-05200 is a small 16g.

 

[fredom dsm]

48178-05200 for sure, so do I have a small 16g?

 

[weith1111]

Does it say TD05 on the compressor housing?

It's most likely a small 16g from the description and dimensions, but who knows if someone made some mish-mosh turbo.

Either way, it's not a t25, and it's not anything bigger than a 16g, so if you are wondering what it's producing, you are in the 14b-16g range.

 

[fredom dsm]

yes, TDO5 on the cmpresor housing, I always thought it was a 14b but I noticed the dual fins so I wanted to make sure, so you think it's a small 16g? yeah I know its not a t25. is there a noticeable diference between 14b and small 16g?

The 14b has straighter blades of the same size while the 16Gs has curved staggered pairs of blades (smaller and larger). If the number on your comp housing is saying its a S16G then there is a 99% chance that it is.

Pic ahoy.

mine looks just like the one on the right, exept that the numbers dont match

 

[andymoraitis]

49178-01520 is a Small 16G. Good turbo, with nice spool characteristics. Not bad at all for a little hairdryer and Kyle (Newb2dsm) has gone 12.1x's with one.

Enjoy,

Andy

That picture is there only to represent the 16G blade arrangement style, not the exact turbo model.

 

[fredom dsm]

I looked all over hell and couldnt find that corresponding number.

Are you sure that you are sure that is says 8 instead of 9. .

My ginnormous turbo lists are on my other computer so I cant get to them right now for referencing purposes. Ill keep searching.

 

[fredom dsm]

Thank you! I'll be searching as well.

 

[JustinSane8000]

Hey sorry for the newb question, but im in the right forum to ask it

I just bought my eclipse gst, 1g 6bolt swap, other mods in profile, anyway.

the number on my turbo says TD05H, and i see that number on both 16g turbos and 14b turbos... im assuming it could be a 14b because of the 1g swap, but theres pleanty more upgrades on this car to make me think otherwise... any way of telling the difference?

also, the car has an AEM fuel rail.... NEWB ALERT HERE, but what does that mean?

 

[black91awdturbo]

does the turbo have a single set of blades or a set of blades with one right behind it? If the answer is single blades its a 14b if its doubled its a 16g varient! Also a pic would help a ton.

 

[JustinSane8000]

i found out that if you take off the hose to the wheel the 14g has a bunch of single looking blades, while the 16g has close together blades,

but does anyone have an answer to the fuel rail question? ill post back here after i find out what turbo it is

EDIt** Just looked, its a 14g

 

[black91awdturbo]

Aem is just a after market fuel rail is all, so what that means is some one took the stock one off and put a pretty aftermarket one on is all. All though they may have upgraded the injectors while there were at it, are your injectors blue at the top?

 

[JayRolla]

Look on top of your injectors. Usuall AEM fuel rails are Red. Its an upgrade to the stock one. The stock one has put people over 600whp. It flows better but its not really needed.

 

[JustinSane8000]

Where the injectors enter... where ever they enter (hahah newb alert again) theres a touch of blue, i havent pulled them.. but otherwise theyre silver.. whats that mean?

i know my ABC's of the engine, but when it comes to fuel managment or fuel period.. im completely in the dark...

 

[black91awdturbo]

the touch of blue tells me there are most likely stock 450cc injectors, so when you up the boost to a higher level or upgrade your turbo you need new injectors is all.

 

[Spooling99]

EDIt** Just looked, its a 14g

14b

 

[un4givin68]

I was told buy the guy I got it from that it was a small 16. I am not to sure I think it is the 14b. Can anyone tell me by looking at the blades. Sorry I know the pic is crappy but all i have is a camera phone.
