identifying turbo and if its the right one for an rx7

i just picked up a turbo that a buddy of mine gave me, i am just now learning the aspects of how the turbo really works. anyway, the turbo is a turbonetics turbo and it is not labeled at all... i am trying to figure out if this is a turbo i can use.

the turbo has an A/R of 96. it is a t4 turbine housing
i measured the trim of the of compressor wheel and its 54
when i looked up on the turbonetics website i came to the conclusion that this might be a to4e, not 100% sure

can anyone else help/or lead me in the right direction... thanks
here is the product catalog look on pages 34,35,36

when you say you measured the trim of the compressor wheel as 54, do you mean that's the inducer length or did you use the actual trim formula to calculate it?

what are all the measurements for both wheels?

I used the actual trim formula to calculate it... I only really want around 350rwhp... i can live with 340... is this turbo even worth using... Its brand new and was a pretty expensive turbo... Also could i switch around the housings to possibly make a little more power??? or is it not worth it?
thanks much

Sounds like its a little small for what you want, but it would make a great one for my 12a turbo. You want to pass those savings on?

i did the math by switching to a 60 trim housing and the according to the compressor map the turbo can produce a maximum of 380rwhp...
