Mitsubishi OEM Turbo Codes

Where a car has two turbos listed, the top turbo is standard, the second was an optional extra.

I'm confident that the materials, turbo codes and models are accurate, but some of the serial numbers have conflicting information from various sources, so the VII and later serial numbers may be a bit jumbled. I'm not sure what the serial number is for the VII GT-A turbo?

From memory the stated purpose of dropping to the 9.8T hotside was to increase the response of the turbo (less lag, lower boost threshold) and the move back to the 10.5T was to increase top end power.

If you read the official brochures (you can download from the MLR homepage) for the Evo VII and VIII MR I'm sure they'll have some explanations there about the changes to the turbos and why.

I found once I fitted my VII Stubby (along with an HKS hardpipe induction and the ralliart intercooler pipes) the throttle response was improved even more than standard (it's brilliant anyway compared to most cars) and the power delivery was smoother over all. Oh and spooled up approx 250-500prm earlier but runs out of puff by the same margin. No bad thing not over-revving the engine imo.

The compressor size is denoted in the turbo model number immediately before the "G".

So, as far as I'm aware, the 80 series has the 16G6C compressor side, which is the same compressor wheel as the earlier models with the 16G6 compressor.

The 16G6C part denotes that the compressor housing has been enlarged on the 80 series.
