Looks pretty small turbo to me - I was going to say a VF22 - but it looks smaller than this to me - a VF28???

Probably good to about 330-350bhp........... if its that one!

It sure is NOT a VF28 or VF22 - too small a compresor housing and the inlet is not chamfered!

Might be a VF10?

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

look at the exhaust housing... odd

the compressor housing has the same two bolt fitting for the 90 degree elbow as the vf12 as fitted as standard to the legacy turbo. however, what looks odd with that, the wastegate pivot axis is at 90 degrees to that found on the scooby turbos
