01420 (Galant VR-4 Evolution) 16G is the same as the Lancer Evo1/2 16G. Lancer Evo3 16G has a different compressor wheel (still the same 16G dimensions just different design of blades) and a better turbine housing.

This plus material type.
Rotating assembly is about 2-lbs lighter on the REAL, not knock-off, E3 turbos. Faster spool basically due to lower rotational mass. IIRC the exhaust wheel is Inconnel and the center shaft is titanium or the like.
I'm pretty sure the differences are the compressor wheel, turbine housing and watstegate actuator.
I'm possative the rotating assembly is not 2lbs lighter. That's not at all possible.
Quoting fuel:
a whole 2 pounds less weight on the rotating assembly? The rotating assembly itself doesn't even weigh ONE pound. Maybe you mean 2 GRAMS?
According to CAPS the turbine wheel/shaft are the same between Galant VR-4 Evolution 16G right through to Lancer Evolution III 16G.
Doh you are correct on the weight, I regurgitated the wrong value: click
I'm almost positive the hot side wheel was made of Inconnel, combined with other mods the rotating assembly is lighter.
Quoting fuel:
am pretty sure all TD05H turbos are inconel, same as the older TC05/TC06 turbos etc.
Ok, more of my regurgitation mistakes.
The material comparison came between MHI and fake/FleaBay copies of the E3 and other variants. Chinabay stuff does not have the "exotic" metals nor quality castings of the MHI products.
I am running big 16G and I would say they didn't name a 17g but that is what it is. I am running 22 lb of boost ith 660 and chip. Wider vains hence more induction at same rpm but not as big as 18g ...almost though
