Just picked up a Ty and the turbo looks new. I have no history on the truck but it has a air/fuel gauge, XS turbo boost controller and a couple other small things. How so I tell if it is a factory turbo or a larger one. It has the mitsi name on the compressor housing but the housing is missing two of the threading bosses for the wastegate solenoid. Any help identifying this thing would be great. Thanks.

Re: Turbo ID

Could be a Mitsu 20g.. Here's a pic showing the difference between the 20 and a stock turbo.

Re: Turbo ID

stock is 8 but a 10 will fit with not mods. only way to tell is look inside the scroll of the turbine housing. 12 and 14 require a different turbine wheel (H) as they are larger and bigger.

The Mitsubishi 12 cm housing I have was made to bolt on directly to the stock turbine wheel,or stock Sy/Ty turbocharger. I do not think they were made factory to fit the "H" wheel.
I had it machined bigger to fit the "H" wheel.

Re: Turbo ID

8,10,12 CM is refering to?? I'm not totally up on my turbo lingo. I will have to look at the intake on the turbo and see if it is the same as my other two trucks. I think mine looks like the one on the right in the pic. Guess I'll have to check it out.

Re: Turbo ID

looks like the 20g stock mitshu, I have the same one. No place to screw in stock waste gate actuator

Re: Turbo ID

So I looked last nite and the compressor fins look like the turbo on the right. It doesn't say mitsubishi on the housing but has the 3 diamonds and the #49179-54 is on the side. I hope it is a 20g cause it's going on the new build.

Re: Turbo ID

It's not a 20 G if it has the compressor wheel that looks like the turbo on the right of the pic. The compressor wheel will have a double row of compressor blades.
