It's all good Josh i'm not discrediting you in anyway. You were told it was an evo3, so you sold it as an evo3. No blame should be placed on you. It still looks like a really good turbo (extremely clean) and will most likely perform just as good as an evo3 because of the porting/clipping.
The thing that get's me is awhile ago the evo3 turbo's used to be cheaper then they are now. That's why everyone and their mom had one and THAT was the turbo to get. Then the Greens/Reds came out from FP and those were for big players only. Funny how those are just relatively small turbos compared to the shit some guys run now, and the 16g is a baby toy.
It also doesn't look like he bought that turbo from FP either, they almost ALWAYS stamp the turbine housing with their logo. Idk who did the porting but if they did it then i am 100% positive they would stamp the housing. I'm thinking either the housings were switched...or it's just a ported/clipped big16g. Either way it's a good turbo and i'm positive you will be happy with it Luminator.

well now you guys got me wonderin', what turbo do i have? i was under the impression it is a small 16g, is that right? what about the O2 housing, is it just the stock one? pics:
