dude, if you're planning on making ~200ish don't use that turbo!!! (well, like that at least)
it looks like one of those ebay t04e's with the .63a/r turbine... On the brown side of the turbo what is the a/r? If its .63 then its one of those really spaced out turbine fins. Looks like a damn stage 3... any how its good if you're trying to make a lot of power, but for the 200hp range it slows you down.
you'll be much happier with a smaller t3 (maybe off of an old saab or volvo/etc) get one used for like 100 bucks.... You can still use that giant front side with the anti surge housing, but put the turbine side of the turbo from the saab on, get the shaft for that balanced with the compressor wheel on the ebay turbo at turbo diesel injection i think in forest park
put that bitch together, all you'll need is some c-ring pliers and a 1/2" solid wrench and half a brain, line the shit up and for the 200hp range it'd be so much funner to drive boost will hit super quick. We did this on a friends d-series and it screamed.
all in all the project will cost you about 200 bux, but it will be wellll worth it.
when you're ready to make power more pop the other tubine on (although ebay turbines aren't the best)...
