Thanks for the links, but I looked at the site when I first say your posts, and most of the turbos there are not MHI. Even most of the ones they say are MHI in the pics are not.

I know they say they sell MHI, but most of the Mitsu style turbos on there site are not MHI. And I am not talking abourt the ones they call ES450, obviously they are not saying that is an MHI turbo, it is their turbo, and that is cool - anybody can sell anything they want.

For example:

http://www.exoticspeed.ca/product_in...787689d50aaa1c

this is the EVOGT turbo that is well known in the DSM community as a aftermarket Chinese clone of the MHI 49178-01470 turbocharger. Not Genuine MHI, but rather a close aftermarket clone.

This one is way out there. MHI has NEVER made any turbo trimed out like this and it does not even have a corresponding MHI part number. MHI never made a TD05H DSM turbo with a 20g wheel in it. Despite being called "MHI" and "produced under the strictest quality in the Sagamihara factory in Japan using the latest technology" it is not. Just the truth man. People are not always 100% accurate, even when they try to be. I hope it is just a misunderstanding with their website guys or something.

Similar situation on this build. MHI never made a turbocharger with this combo, not in Japan and not anywhere else. The Subaru lineup of turbocharger built by MHI is limited to TD04 and small 16g TD05H and no bigger. Any Subaru Mitsubishi type turbo larger than the small 16g is not built by MHI, MHI only build turbos for OEM cars, not aftermarket performance, and no OEM Subaru ever had a MHI turbo larger than a small 16g.

Same story on this one. It is described as a MHI 20g turbo, but it is aftermarket. It has the "white" wheel in it, an unclipped one. MHI does not ave a PN wheel with a clip on it, like your pics have.

I'll shoot some pics of the white wheels vs the MHI wheels, gimmie a few min. They are relly white in color, just much lighter than the MHI and the surface smoothness is diff and the material is different. I just call it the "white" wheel sort of like they call the "green room" green even though it might not be green, just a name.

BOST ON!
