but this is the plate on it...no idea what it is and the numbers do nothing on the net...

the only thing obvious to me is the T2...but I thought the T2 was huge?!
any thoughts?

T2's are tiny.
That looks like a GT15 sized snail.

Well don't get a TD04 or a T25...
Do some research into bigger but better turbos... Bigger =/= better but at the same time, bigger doesn't necessarily mean more lag if you choose well...

Do some research and find out what would be best, I've written my opinion on turbos countless times, have a look through some previous posts, I've explained how A/R, wheel sizing and efficiency affects things, you should make your decision based on this

To be honest, even if you found a more efficient newer equivalent of the T2 you'd make decent power, I worked out my T2 at 28psi was about 60% or less efficient, if you could find one that operates at 75%+ efficient with the same flow you'd see good improvements as the less efficient they get, the more they just make heat instead of flow.
As Ruan said though, reading is your friend. I just spent a month and two turbos getting a setup that works and it's epic. It's so much more rewarding knowing you've gone out, looked into something and made it work, especially when it's different to the norm.
Anyone can buy a td04 and a set of adapter plates and make it work, but that's no fun

Think may make more room even if not needed while the engine is out...appears to be something needed for the future!!!
