Just got the new SBR Bastard 20G turbo today.

It's suppose to have a 20G compressor wheel and a TDO6H Turbine.

Looks just like a plain 16G to me, thus the name "sleeper".

Anyway could you guys take a look a the pics and gimme your take on if the wheel size I paid for is the wheel size I really got?

TIA!

Baby TDO5H housing, yes, but do the wheels look big to you?

No. It is a smaller 20g. It looks like a 16g as you said...

BTW, that piping is not that great. It is pretty restrictive with the 2 step up. Not sure why they did not use a larger pipe in the begining and increase the size of the (factory) turbo outlet pipe. And yellow....

What's up with that ugly pipe?

You could take the turbo apart and measure the exducers and inducers to see what you actually got.

You could have cut and spliced stock piping also. It works... not a good pipe though.

His car has a black and yellow theme if I remember correctly.
