My turbo markings are 49178-0520 0 and it says tdo5 on it. I found these identification numbers online and none of them match up exactly to my turbo. What turbo do you think I have? I'm hoping it is the small 16g since it is the closest number but I'm not sure.

49178-01(40)0: 14B

49178-01(47)0: EVO III 16G

Nice turbo. What is it? A 16g, 14b...? My looks almost exactly like that. I think yours has a small taper on the inside edge just like what I have and the fins look just like that. Thanks.

Quoting nandovr4:
Thanks, but your link went to Google gmail login. I don't have a gmail account.



Fixed. Both pics reflect the same genuine MHI small 16g.

Sweet!! I got a small 16G and didn't even know it! I thought I had a 14b all along. It is in perfect condition too. Funny thing is I almost bought one a couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness I didn't. Thanks guys! Awesome! I'm just putting on my 2g manifold and ported O2 housing as well. This should help. Once I got my ecu and boost gauge and controller hooked up I'll be rockin and rollin.

I got a good price on another one. Just got it today but it's not ported. I'm thinking about doing a quick port myself just on the head/exhaust side. My local machine shop wants $40-$50 for the job. I can buy a pneumatic grinder and bit for that much. So I think I'll just do it myself.
