Hahn Super 16G. The compressor cover has been rotated so the outlet with discharge downward, and the threaded bungs were welded on the cover for the wastegate actuator.


How about this number 49178-01470, which turbo is this?
Evo III 16G. Seriously, search a little...even Googling the part number will turn up a plethora of information.
 
Hello, i just got my first dsm and i know that a stock 95 talon tsi turbo is a t25. I bought a turbo inlet gasket and it doesn't fit.

Can someone please tell me what turbo is this?

That is the stock turbo, do you have a link to the gasket you bought?

The compressor wheel looks different than the scm50 also. It's a garret wheel the previous owner had it replaced

That is a newer (Kinetic) SBR "G" turbo with a Precision turbine housing on it.

This isn't good news, though...whoever swapped the compressor wheel obviously didn't pay attention to the cover spec. This wheel is totally wrong for the cover....look at the gap between the tips of the wheel and the cover:

I'm shocked this turbo even makes boost at all.

Cool,thanks alot!! It might not even make boost. The car currently is not running and from what the previous owner told me is hasn't been started with the turbo in it's current state on the car.

I'll even go one step further....

That type of compressor nut is used on the Chinese turbos. I'm willing to bet my next paycheck that the previous owner had a SBR G50 that took a shit, so he swapped a Chinese T3's CHRA into the G50's compressor cover and shoved the whole assembly into a PTE turbine housing creating one HELL of a Mutt turbo.

I rebuilt one of those Chinese T3's one time....what they called a "50-Trim" had the inducer spec of a 46-Trim Garrett wheel with a slightly smaller exducer so the measurement stayed at an actual 50-trim calculation. Such cheaters.

Here's how your turbo began life:

Justin,
Just curious. How can you tell what turbo it is with absolutely no outer markings at all or p/n's?
Every company is unique in some way to their compressor cover type and design. I've just seen enough of these turbos that I can generally get a ballpark idea.

Back when i first got my car the turbo and manifold were both cracked..I ended up buying a factory mani and a 16g...I believe it was an evo 16g but am not sure as the paperwork for the purchase somehow is misplaced...is there a visual way I can tell which turbo I have??
 
should have an engraving or 'plate' serial number of some sort on the compressor cover i do believe.
 
There are numbers stamped on the compressor housing, match them up to these and that will tell you what you have.
