Re: 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?

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

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.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Besides the TD05H?

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

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

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.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

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

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

You didn't buy that off eBay did you?

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

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.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

yeah, at first i was looking at my turbo suspecting it was a 14b because of the serial number. Later jhann dude found out that it had the e316g compressor wheel with the 14b housing. Previous owner did that.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

yeah both of those have a completly different compressor wheel then what i have.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Ok how similar do these look... http://media.photobucket.com/image/t...14BRebuild.jpg
And attached

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

^^yeah. i thought the big 16g had the double fins instead of the 14b fins?...both ways, i don't like the 'small' turbos but evo 3 is a pretty badass turbo.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

the link is a 14b. the attached is my turbo. hmmm. maybe awd-drifter was right.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

they look exactly alike. I think the last serial numbers are also the same. 1030

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Nice 14b. Haha, oh boy.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

I've posted the info and links on how to tell what the turbo is by the stamp of the last two digets on the comp cover on here like five times, hit the search button punk! Looks like a 14b to me.

Was it sold to you as a 16g?

'Small 16g'

any 16g will have the 6-bladed comp wheel, not the 10+ like in the pic above. Sorry man, I'd ask for some cash back on that deal, ouch...then again, at this point maybe just say eff it and keep moving on it.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Yeah, that turbo you have is a 14b.
