TD05H-16G Turbocharger

The MHI 49178-01470 is a Genuine MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) TD05H EVO III Big 16G turbocharger, offered as a factory upgrade. This turbo is specifically designed for the MITSUBISHI Lancer EVO 3 with a 271 CV (199 KW) engine, produced from January 1995 onwards. It features a Big 16G compressor wheel and a larger 7CM2 turbine housing, which helps reduce back pressure at high RPM. This configuration increases compressor flow to 550 CFM at 15 PSI boost and supports an estimated 380 HP. It is designed as a direct replacement for first-generation TD04H and TD05H turbos, offering improved boost control and direct fitment with the EVO3 O2 housing. This turbocharger is presented as a "ready-to-fit" package, often including optional accessories like an optional turbo gasket kit, complete mounting hardware with studs and nuts, and an priming syringe. Some sources indicate that for 95-99 Eclipse Turbo applications, a 2G Install Kit is required, which includes an oil feed line, oil return line, J-pipe with gasket, oil return line gaskets, turbo to manifold gasket, O2 housing gasket, and bolts. The product is described as a "reconditioned to new" part, offering performance and longevity comparable to original equipment. It comes with a 2-year warranty, though this typically excludes damage from oil starvation, contamination, misuse, or abuse. The seller also highlights benefits such as guaranteed reliability with systematic bench testing and a compliance report, and an "eco-friendly" approach through remanufacturing.
