Default got my new volvo turbo in today

it looks a lot smaller compared to the big bertha T3 i bought and the label on it say TD04HL-15G what does that mean? the turbnie flange matched up to the T3 flange on the manifold but the turbine opening is round so it stuck out a little bit...could an adapter be made so i dont have to get another manifold? it has an internal wastgeate which operates prtetty freely but it also has another thing that looks like it may be an internal BOV...ill post up some pics when i get my flash adapter back
any help is appreciated

too small for what? 500hp lol dont the eclipses have 14b which woiuld be smaller than this correct and those things have run low 13's on the stock turbo

it may not have the huge top end capability as a T3/4 but im sure this thing would spool real fast, especially if i have a lightweight flywheel

i only own it for $100 and it has a wastegate saving me almost $200 and it has its own BOV (i think)

i think ill be happy with the lighting spool up time, my friends C70 has the big T3 and that thing lags like a biotch and thats a 2.5 5cyl i couldnt imagine the lag on a 1.8L

We had a Volvo turbo and the problem was not the circular/square flange, but rather the flange is recessed and will not mate flat to the manifold flange. What's your fix to this problem?

i dont see how that would be a problem, if the recess is downward which it is it should flow air in better
