Andy,  what you have is a TV8101 turbocharger.   Rated on your engine at 430HP.   

This is based off the numbers that you gave me.   Looking at the picture you do have a TV8101.

Andy,  I grabbed the info out of my Garrett manuals..    If you are really interested in the info, stop by your local turbocharger repair shop.
