1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project

So today i cleaned up the SMOP, started polishing the exhaust manifold (out of boredom), honed the #4 cylinder. Went to DB today and picked up a boost controller, and got a small boner looking at the PTE Billet 67 in the case, and decided this may be the turbo of my choice for the big build.
Popped off the turbo and this really doesnt look like a Evo3 B16g. Can someone look at this picture and tell me if they think it really is?

WTF is that growth on the outlet elbow?

Get a pic of the numbers on the comp. housing and we can tell u what it is, there is a thread on tuners about the numbers vs. big, small, E3 16g.

As you can see this evo3 16g looks VERY different than what i have, main thing being the compressor wheel. the one i have looks like they put an exhaust wheel on the compressor side. WTF

looks more like a 14b dude. what's the serial number say? e316g compared with this is big difference. i'll see if i can compare my b16g with my e316g i have currently.

No. Im sorry, i was mistaken, i rechecked the for sale thread and it says Small 16g. Dammit. I really hate small 16gs.

No. this is what came with the car. I dont plan on changing it until the big boy goes on. BTW, the above picture was from google images. the very top picture is of my actual turbo.
