Default garrett turbo question sohc

ok i got a sohc vtec turbo setup. I am running a ebay t3/t4 and its got some play and what not and i believe its leaking small oil out of one of the exhaust housing bolt.

Anyways i got a turbo from my friend and i dont know much about it but its a garrett with 50 a.r but do not know the size of the exhaust housing.
The exhaust housing is alot but i mean ALOT bigger then the compressor and its v-band. Also the inlet where you bolt the turbo to the manifold has 2 seperate holes instead of one big hole like my t3/t4

Heres my question..Which turbo would be better for my car? Big compressor small exhaust housing or small compressor with big exhaust housing?
also whats the dual inlet entry for?

It all depends really.. the bigger housing could create more CFM, but at a cost of course.

I would replace that exhaust housing with a T3 flanged housing

need pictures to see what you mean.
