Mate of mine with a WRX 95import has got a turbo with TD05H on it, but other numbers are just random,nothing like 16g/18g/20g etc.
Any ideas on identifying it?

cheers.

 

assuming it is most likely the standard turbo then it will be a 16g..

Simon

 

dont think it is standard, but cant find any other markings on it..

 

The O/E turbo is a TD05 16G as simon says with a 90 degree entry/compressor cover.
What are the random numbers?
Why would it not be a standard turbo?

 

When he got it, he was told it was a 'larger turbo' of which make was unknown..

Numbers are:
14412 AA091
49178/06300
TD05H

Then smaller/less visible numbers on same side: A275 79

 

14412 AA091 ???
When uprating the turbo, normally the compressor housing is changed.
As 14412 AA092 and 14411AA091 are the markings on standard factory turbos I can see no reason to believe the turbo has been changed for an uprated version.
It is certainly a 16G.

 

Agree with Harvey

 

what about standard housing but different internals? IE: Hybrid?

 

unlikely

 

whys that?

 

It's not a wagon is it?
Just thought I'd ask the obvious.

 

Because the compressor cover appears unchanged.

Simon

 

nope not a wagon.
hmmm Weird one.

 

Are the actuators different? is one adjustable? Just a thought.

 

Why is it a weird one?? it has the standard turbo fitted as you would expect??

what makes you think it is not a 16g?
