Curious on how I can tell the difference in a 14b and a 16g. Guys I've talked to said you can tell by the fins, 16g having double fins and a 14b only having single fins. Any help would be great.

 

the inlet on the 16 is bigger than the inlet in the 14b

 

Here is my turbo that I am trying to determine if it's a 14b or 16g.

 

Its a 14b. Google is your friend. Just type the numbers from your compressor cover on google and it will come up and tell you everything.

 

Thanks John. The guy that gave it to me in a trade keeps telling me it's a 16g. This is the PM he sent me after I told him I found it was a 14b. The picture below is the one he sent to me before the trade. Guess I should have learned turbos before purchasing them on here

 

"TD05H" usually means 16g.

 

The second turbo that you posted has a different compressor cover on it with a different number. I just looked up that number and that number comes back being a BIG 16g. If the second pics under his PM is the one you have, then that is a 16g.

49178-01030 = 14b
49178-01420 = big 16g
49178-01460 = evo II 16g
49178-01470 = evo III 16g

Here is a great catelog with pretty much every single mitsu turbo known to mankind. TurboMaster - Catalog - mitsubishi - TDO5H

 

16gs have alternating blades in height. so first pic 14b..second pic 16g

 

Thanks guys. Everyone was repped for the help.
