rerb Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 Hi, I'm currently running a td05 16g at 12 psi. Power is great, but after having my fun I realize I'd much prefer a smaller, quicker spooling turbo for a moe nippy bike, one that I can hear the turbo actually spooling at less than 60 mph. I would like to stick to my flange, so does anyone know a smaller turbo that fits that flange? I doubt there's clearance for an adapter. Thanks. Quote
no class Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 …. ball bearing turbo will take care of your spooling issue . 1 Quote

clivegto Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 Though the tdo5 was 3 bolt exhaust flange (yes I said flange ) Quote

Olekat Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 T25 from a 95-99 dsm might be what you're looking for. The cold side is different but the turbine housing is the same bolt pattern Quote

Unfortunately I can't find a ball bearing version thats still in production, so I'm going to swap over to an exhaust manifold built for the housing of the VF series turbos. Quote
Goo'Roo Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Kinugawa has mitsu 1-3 td05 turbocharger like your with ball bearing, and billet compressor. That should help a lot. https://store.kinugawaturbosystems.com/it/collections/for-mhi-evo-1-3/products/evo3-dsm-3a-td05h16g-stsadvanced?variant=31949794345044 1 Quote
1260Pete1 Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 The td05 16g is not a great turbo, it's lazy and unfortunately has different flanges to every other turbo out there, a td04 13t is what you want and will give you the sounds you are looking for and also make up to 280 horsepower max but still hit hard low down as Clive will tell you Quote

Sadly that means dropping money on a new manifold, but it'll be worth it Quote
