That is a odd looking turbo.Just go by a welding shop and get someone to weld a 3-4" piece on the outlet for some beer or cash.$50 if it's in good shape looks like a decent deal.

you can see it says airesearch on the turbing housing. compressor housing looks like it might match a regular t3 bolt pattern. u would have to check, and the wheel size might be different. but worth a shot.
looks like it has a built in bypass valve and wastegate.
if you can get that to work, it would be cool to see how it well or shitty it works. .
