20g comparison

16g is going back on and 20g-9-6 is now for sale. I don't wanna push this thing to 30 or so PSI to see the real gains. I pushed the 16g on 110 octane and 23 psi and did 325hp 325 tq.
This 20g only did 317hp and 307tq. Maybe its not even a 20g-9 but just a evo9 16g. I don't know enough to look at it and determine the difference.
I started the thread to see if what I got is a not the real thing. It doesn't seem to me that people like this turbo either way.

This whole naming thing is a total mess. I am totally confused with all the names being thrown about the 16g and 20g. I would love some clarification as to when the 16g becomes a 20g and why do people persist on calling a 16g a 20g when the stamping says otherwise.

I really do not know why people do this. There was a guy who posted pics (in show and shine) of his uninstalled 20g turbo and the stamping on the turbo said 16g, yet people were calling it 20g.

There's a stamping that says 16g, or does it say TD05H?

Look at the first pic. It is the one posted here by justchill, only clearer. You can read
"TD05HRA-16G6mc-10.5T"
Now check out this section of the spec sheet from Mitsu for the Evo 9. It says the turbo is a "TD05HR-16G6C-10.5T."
So both the 9 turbo and what justchill refers to as 20g have stamping that says 16g.

A "20G-9-5" refers to the upgraded 16G turbo sold by Buschur Racing, which uses an EVO IX 16G housing, and has a 5-bladed compressor. The EVO IX 16G compressor housing by itself provides a bump in power over the EVO VIII housing.
A "20G-9-6" refers to the upgraded 16G turbo sold by everyone else. This turbo also uses an EVO IX housing, but has a larger 6-bladed compressor, is cheaper, and is the one whose performance is suspect.
