Which compressor trim does it have?

My guess is that the turbo came from a SAAB, Volvo or other euopean 4cyl..

Based on this you probably have a 45, 50 TrimCompressor.

Anyway, this guy will spool INSTANTLY, say 10 psi by 2500, BUT the downside,
its a small turbine housing and compressor, so it'll run out of breath
around 180-200 hp. This guy will deliver this power at low rpms say 4000.
Remember where it came from, you can expect to make the same power.

Its a good 'starter' turbo if you have never built your own set-up before.
good for 5-7 psi to redline.
