That is not a bad turbo I have made 300whp with it before. The compressor flows 505cfm at 14 psi.

That's not bad for a small street turbo. That's about 35.5lbs/min@14psi. Think of a small 16G size..

You already have the flow rate, why do you need to know the size?

Who cares what size it is....you shouldnt boost on a base map anyways. Put the turbo on...get it tuned...then see what it does.

Even the best "base" map you should not boost on. It is unsafe. It makes no difference if its a 50 or 60 trim just like I said above. Dont boost it until its actually tuned and then you'll see what kind of power the turbo makes and such. That will give you a better idea as to what size trim it is.

unles you have a wideband that you can monitor closely until it's tuned properly...of course.
