Default Having trouble identifying turbo

From what i gather it is a 87-88 t-bird turbo , but that is judging from the comp housing. lots of pic of it.

but the pics i found of tbird exhaust housing are completly different.

And you guys think it could make 200hp?










Now this seems odd to me that a turbo this small would have a "divided housing" I dont think this is a "twin scroll turbo" as the division feeds the wastegate port , but does hit the turbine wheel.

comp housing is t bird for sure. Exh is not from any pics i can see. I thought mabye its a mx6/probe hybrid (pretty popular in the mx6 world) but the probes/mx6 dont have the diving in the housing. they do have the 5 bolt flange though.

Still cant narrow this down

Comp. looks the same but the exhaust is not. All of the ford turbos i've seen are t3 flanged inlet. Look like it might be a mazda or something. My exh. housing says 20r.
