What turbos are td05?

The dsm t25 that came on the second gen gts/gsx also has a Mitsu flange, with the added bonus of not needing an outlet adapter for your I/C pipes. Could be a good choice for <200whp car. Most of my friends with DSMs practically give them away
Edit: Being locked into a DSM turbo isn't a bad thing. Bullseye Power makes turbine housings that are DSM flanged for garret CHRAs. There are also a couple of companies that offer up to a 20g in a TD05H wheel. (Sidenote: TD05H = turbine wheel, not flange)

not really for the average dyi guy on a budget the mitsu turbo is ideal the design is over 20 years old there millions of them out there and companies have made aftermaket parts for years so there is used parts for cheap. as for power/performance the dsm turbos have you coverd from a 13g all the way up to god knows what i have seen way back in the day puppy 16gs which were 14bs with 16g wheels in them hell i even have a turbo that the hotside is a 20g td06 housing coldside is a garret 57 trim t3 came off a dsm i picked up a coulpe years ago.

this is just a third of what's available to bolt on to a mitsu. flange manifold. like someone said, least expensive would be a used 2gen dsm turbo (t25) that can be found as low as $50-75 dollars. full boost with that turbo would be available just off idle and is good up to 10-14psi.

I ordered a new 16G with small turbine from a local turbo shop, put it on, had to change all my charge pipe because turbo was set up way differently, it ran and idled fine, put it on the dyno, the vacuum line controlling my wastegate was pinched, 16g turbo spiked to 20lbs, cylinder 4 disintegrated. I couldn't find a long nose 1.6, so I went with a 97 1.8, and started everything over, because i couldn't find a manifold with td05 to fit my 1.8.
So yes, I totally agree with not letting your manifold decide which turbo to use. Do the resesarch, then buy the parts.

sounds like a personal problem. if you had "locked" yourself into a mitsu. flanged turbo, you would have literally dozens of sizes of turbo's to choose from and parts and accesories would be easier to locate than crack at whitney's mansion.

My point exactly...and I only commenting so that others wouldn't make a poor decision that became their "personal" problem.
I bought mine as a kit...and was "stuck" with this oddball manifold flange and a turbo that runs out of breath up top.
I actually have all the parts now to switch to a more conventional T25 setup...but don't have the time or money to make it happen. The T25/T28 options are very enticing to me coming from a baby turbo.
The point remains however that anyone that can afford to should pick their turbo line first...then the supporting parts.
