there are guys in the dsm world running 11's on that turbo....Its a good turbo, and will make a decent amount of power...Definetly 350ish i would say, my friend runs that turbo on his dsm and he pushes 21-25psi and it pulls strong

B18CRacer

what kind of setup did he have? Is it the greddy kit?

Are you *sure* it is a TDO6H 16g? If it's a TDO6H, I would be inclinded to think it has an 18g wheel.

Either way, you're talking 34 lb/min maximum flow rating, at the least. That means over 300 whp, no problem.

B18CRacer

yeah you are right tdo5h 18g

kpt4321

Wait. I suggested one or the other, not both. TDO5H 18g is also possible though.

The 18g wheel is capable of almost 400 crank horsepower, approximately.

yes i finally took it off the car and looked at the greddy tag...I can barely read but it said tdo5h 18g. So it possible to push it 400hp?

TDO5 what, compressor cover or turbine wheel?

Yes. The 18g wheel can flow enough air to make around 400 crank horsepower.

I don't have a compressor map handy, so I'm afraid I can't be any more specific than that.

thanks kpt4321...what kind of setup would maximumize the effectiveness of this turbo?

Si-Yaaa!

I'm glad you asked this question because I was wondering the same thing. I'll be running my greddy kit with an 84mm b16 block and 9:1 compression. I just wanted to be over 300whp when I'm done. Gotta love A/C.
