serial number reads a 14b turbo....but it seems to have a 16g wheel. I did some research and supposively its a 14b turbo! (-_-)
It's odd because all these years I assumed it was a big 16g. Oh well, better motivation to get a e316g for next year!!

Definitely NOT a 14b.

Some places machine out the compressor housing and bolt in a 16G compressor wheel and build a cheap 16G. Only real difference is the exhaust is still a 14b sized. It's like a tdoh5-15d /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

^ +1 someone machined a 14b compressor housing to fit a 16g wheel
Bullocks. I can really feel the power dying off at 5500rpms. man, thanks everyone! I was wondering why this turbo was spooling quicker than my cousin's 1g powered e316g. well, at least i can tell my Honda friends that I am running a "small" turbo lol. even if it's a 14b with a 16g compressor wheel. Now I'm really gonna get a gt30-....errr..Evo 3 16g next year!
