Corey Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Alright, so i bought this turbo off of a friend, he thought it was a "14b". Its definately not. Its got a starquest style downpipe flange.http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a263/bgcavfire/IMAG0422.jpg The compressor housing looks like a 12a, however it appears as if it was bored out to run a bigger cartridge. NOTE THE GROUND OFF NUMBER ON THE HOUSING. theres a little line of the number left, from where the drill used didnt get. It doesnt look like it would be anypart of a two. heres a picture of the turbo i just got, and the second picture is a stock 12a housing.http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a263/bgcavfire/IMAG0425.jpghttp://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a263/bgcavfire/IMAG0421.jpg and heres a picture of the turbo in its entiretyhttp://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a263/bgcavfire/IMAG0420.jpg so what am i dealing with here? is it a bored out 12a with a 14b or 16g cartridge? Cause ive never seen a 14b with this style dp flange.But ive never looked that hard. whatever it is, its gonna bolt up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoBodyGod Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Looks like a td04 from a 2nd gen turbo colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 its got 6 blades so its a g wheel for sure.14bs have six blades too tho? Looks like a td04 from a 2nd gen turbo colt. That happens to have matching numbers to that of a 12a? Doubtful. It would say td04 on it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I've been looking at pictures of 16g compressor wheels. And mine looks identical. I'm thinking its 12a housings with a 16g cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Nobody is going to port a stock 12a compressor for a "B" wheel ever. "B" is from a DSM so it might be a DSM cartridge and who knows what size it is until you measure the inducer diameter same goes for the turbine shaft but those are definitely both Conquest stock housings and they can be ported to fit many different wheels. http://www.fc3spro.c...BO/tmodels.html Edited August 21, 2010 by Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_99 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 looks very similar to my 12a that I just had punched out and fitted with a 16 g wheel. BC_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
