They all have the same part number stamped on them, because it’s the same housing, that’s why it’s been tricky trying to ascertain if there was a difference.

I’m going to put a new one in Fahad, otherwise there will always be that nagging doubt. I’m getting one from Genesis who are the ONLY guys who list one, and the only ones who originally told me it was a different Turbo on the Type s.

Right then........after doing a bit more digging, well a lot more digging actually, I managed to get some more information regarding the 150hp (Standard i-dtec ) and 180hp (Type S i-dtec ) Turbos, and I can now confirm that the Type S does have a different Turbo from the standard ones. They both...

Another update. After talking to Garret, guess what? Even they don't know. That part number from the eBay advert for the Type S 180hp Turbo, is (according timGarret) the same Turbo that is fitted to the 150ho Accord!!

Update. I've just received an email from Genesis Turbo which states. The Turbo housings are the same, but the internals are different. Now we know :).

I hear what your saying, and that is my thinking as well. It's a different Turbo, but the only reference to it being different is that one guy stating that it is. If this was a Court of Law, the verdict would be 'Not proven. insufficent and circumstantial evidence only' lol. I'll keep you posted.

Good call Fahad. I'm beginning to suspect that's it's the internals that are different, I ***ume the housing can probably take different cartridges. Does the ECU/Map have any influemce on altering the Turbo vanes?

Channel Hopper, I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make. As I've already said, there's nothing DEFINITIVE that states it's a different Turbo. I've already seen that quote, but that doesn't PROVE it has a different Turbo. As for the G0xx being a red herring, GO14 isn't GO10 is it...

I'm quite confident that the Turbo is from a Type S, but the question remains....is it the same as the standard 150hp one? Andy it's over £400 for a used one, whereas I can get a a standard factory reconditioned 'as new' one for about £300. As Fahad said, they both look identical. Which takes...

(Channel Hopper) I should have updated my profile, I have a 2009 Type S i-dtec. The first 2 links you posted are the 2 I looked at on eBay, and the 2 that I got the part numbers from. 1890 RL1 G012 M2 and RL1 G010 M2. So just from those 2 numbers one could say that the G010 number means it's a...

It's tricky trying to find out if they're different Turbos. I read reviews which say things like ".....the Type S gets tweaks to the Turbo and the cylinder Head" and then you read anectdotal quotes like "as far as I know they're the same" lol. However I've now discovered a company in Poland...

I've always been slightly disappointed by the performance of my Type S, and I've just been having a look through the previous owners 'service history/receipts' and came across a tiny little reciept from Kent Turbos, apparently a new turbo was fitted at 110k, and written in Biro on the receipt...

This is almost a year old, but....... The correct OEM Tyre size for the Type S is 235/45 x 18 all round.

All that has been done Baz. 2 weeks ago, driving it steadily I was getting 50+ easily. Suddenly, with me driving carefully to try and achieve good mpg, it has plummeted to below 40!

The car's empty Fahad, just me in it, and 1/4 tank of fuel. I'm not sure about the filter. PS - Just remembered, yes, I fitted an OEM filter a few days after I bought it.
