The mystery turbo

So guys i really need your help. Ive got a turbo and have no clue what it is. I measured it with a micrometer today. The compressor wheel measured 60.4mm and the exhaust wheel measured 63.6mm. The exhaust flange measured(from the outside of each bolt hole) 96.6mm width, 55.2mm height, and 107.8mm diagonally. Let me know what you guys think. Here are a couple links to pics of the turbo. Oh, its also an oil only turbo.

look on ebay for pricing.
A complete turbo kit with wastegate and manifold is like $475 for that XS power stuff. A buddy just bought a kit with a 60-1 from SSautochrome about a month ago. It seems decent but we have not installed it yet.
I got an old mazdaspeed manifold, a garret turbo, cartech wastegate and dual HKS exhaust with Stainless steel piping(complete Y-pipe) for less than the cost of one of their kits...Yeah I know I scored....It was my time.....LOL

The turbo doesn't look like the SSautochrome turbos that I have seen.

actually the casting of the housings look a little too good for a cheap turbo

would you mind getting a closer picture of the blue label on it? and also a picture of the compressor itself?

dont pay attention to many of these jokers that are posting yet. most of them assume they know everything because they read about it in a post that most likely gave wrong info anyways and have no experience with single turbos
