Hi guys

Could you please tell me what are the two turbos in this picture (off E8 or E9). Thanks in advance.

 

one on the left is a off a 05 evo with the twin ports and the one on the right is off a 05 Mr

 

The one on the right is an 05 or 06. The one on the left I'm not sure, but it is definitely not from an 05.

Left is off an 03 or 04 / the one on th right is 05 GSR or 05 MR. my 05 GSR came with the same hot side one port.

 

They are both 16g turbos. The purpose of this picture is showing the difference between the old wastegate flapper (two circles) and the revised flapper (one circle).

They are both 10.5 hotsides, so they are both from 05 Evos. They are not from 06 because they do not have the newer compressor housing.

Edit: The dual flapper could also be from a TME turbo.

 

Where does it say that they are 10.5's? All 05's have the single flapper wastegate. Besides look at the difference in the turbine housing size betwwen the left and the right. My guess is 03'-04' on left and 05' on right

 

the left hotside is visibly smaller

 

ok enough with the guessing games what is it

 

The one on the right is an '05 turbo. The one on the left could be a TME or EVO 7-8 turbo (pre-'05).

 

i concur with this statement.

the left is likely a 9.8 and the right is a 10.5. you can easily notice by the DIAMETER of the snail.

 

the file is linked from:

it is an article from sept04 so I assume its just showing a pre05 turbo and the new 05 turbo with the 10.5 hotside.

 

yes, def pre-05 on the left(my 03 looks exactly like that) and 05 turbo on the right.

 

Wow, lots of confusion here. The one on the right has the redesigned single puck which was phased in on the 10.5 housing (and being the that diffuser isn't any larger than the turbo on the left, its going to be an 05 setup). The one on the left has the old-school WG setup and since its very obvious looking at the scroll that it is smaller, I'm going it say its a 9.8 from the 03-04 8's and various others.

 

Reason I am asking is because the one on the right is the wastegate setup on the '04 Australian delivered Evos. Everyone seems to think that we have the 9.8 hotside but Im starting to think we might have a 10.5 because its the MR wastegate setup.

Is there a relatively straightforward way of telling whether you have a 9.8 or 10.5 hotside without pulling the turbo out?
