I know its a Evo IX turbo :

But i ordered Online....

I though it was a normal type IX turbo, but i just realised the part # on it is scratched off but i can stil lmake it out.

49378-01570 or 71 cant tell yet.

I was told that is the JDM magnesium turbo....?

 

NVM confrimed its TME IX turbo

 

If It Was Mag I Think The Impeller On The Comp Side Would Be Mag Color Which Is A Yellow Copper Color

 

The JDM magnesium turbo serial 70 is prone to failure, as was my case, with a completely stock car with about 4000 miles.
I then bought a replacement and from japan they sent me the 71 serial one. As far as i know they had quite a few failures on the 70 one. Your one though does not seem mag wheel.

Please see pics in post #1 and #69 in the thread belowBlown turbo

 

Its the Titanium wheel/allum shaft i believe

 

its a evo 9 jdm turbo or an evo9 20G from turbochargers.com they both have similiar markings on them

would this let me run 11.8@117-8 ?? i though that my car was moving alot more then what it was suppose to be for a stock 9 turbo

 

^^ I can't answer your question but I had first hand NEGATIVE experience with turbochargers.com. My buddy ordered a green from them and it was by far the worst fitment ever. I would order from BR or FP directly.

 

No i was just saying i think that is the one i have.

Oh well ill just sell it for the going evo IX turbo price

 

the mC tells you its a magnesium turbo with a large compressor cover.. this is a 70 series turbo that's prone to failure ..

charmama there's a 71 and 72 series used on the final few evo IX's .. those are the ones that lasts ..

 

but the wheel isnt mag color its actually shinner then the oil lines. just bad pic in the shade


This is the Link to what I EXSACTLY ORDERED

here's a pix with alot of light you can see the compressor wheel

 

That is the part no. on your turbo..
td05hra(Ti)-16g6mC(mag wif bigger comp housing)-10.5T (larger turbine outlet)

070xxxx is the series with the problems..
whether they just used the JDM housing without the mag wheel I don't know..

 

its 015*** it was 170 or 171 cant tell maybe its just the jdm housing with the different compressor wheel? no idea im geussing it is because it came from mitsubishi japan so they might have scratched the #'s off so that i wouldnt think it was the mag turbo.

but i mean look how shinny the compressor wheel is up above, thats def not mag. wheel they are orangish redish color

 

Like others have said, its an evo9 RS turbo with an aluminium wheel.

This is what the mag wheel looks like:


Oh yeh, the GSR and RS turbos both use the same size compressor housing.

 

Case closed then, its just a plain jane Evo IX turbo thanks
