What turbo?

So I found a turbo for a car project I am working on. Dude said it was for a duramax. Well he drove three hours to sell it to me and when he showed up it was just a little sucker. like the smallest turbo I have ever seen.
I was wondering how I could be able to tell how many cc's it's good for. or cfm. There aren't any a/r numbers on it that I can see. It is a garrett.
It was a brand new turbo and he sold it to me for $150, I figured I could put it on a sled or something, I will eventually figure something out for a $150.
But can anyone help me figure out how to identify what it is. It has a .48 stamped on the inside of the pressure side of the cold side. and some strange numbers on the hot side and then the garrett sr# tag, and thats it.

Not good for a sled, maybe 150hp tops on a 4-stroke gas engine, just a guess.

Maybe maybe not….. 150hp was a guess, probably not a good one at that LOL.

It summer, throw the thing on a quad or a bike.

It is hard to find compressor maps for ome applications, you might have to measure the inducer and exducer on the compressor and find something with the same trim to compare it to.

Oh ya forgot..........

If you are going to do a 2-smoker a turbo that maxs out at 400hp is good for around 240 hp, you want to run in the center of the compresor map and have a A/R of .8 somthing on the tubine

just my opinion..... but it works for me
