I think the one they market specific to the PSD is the GTP38R with a 1.0 A/R
I'm not well versed enough to tell you in detail the difference that the size would make but price wise, the 38R retails around 1700 bucks so 200 seems like a deal if it isnt seized up or something.
You say it came out of another PSD? I'm not sure I'm following what you wrote. I'll leave it at that until someone less ignorant arrives to chime in.

that turbo is the same thats on your rig, its from 99.5-2003 7.3's the early99 had the same turbo that obs rigs which is a non wastegated 1.15 ex and intake.

with how much garbage went through that turbo i bet its trashed the intake housing is probabbly so sand blasted out the impeller clearance would be way too much.

upgrades for your rig are the van turbo, gtp38r (ball bearing) the turbonetics, or and h2e are the first that come to mind.

I agree with BBJake, stay away from that one, the housing is going to be "expanded" by all the sand in there and the tolorances will be all wrong.

i do agree with the fact that it is severely dusted, that compressor wheel is sad looking, to put it nicely. do not get it, it is a DOWNGRADE from what you have now. a Ball-bearing GTP38R turbo or a 1.15 exhaust housing turbo such as a van-turbo, (E-series van) or a 1.15 exhaust housing upgrade for what you have now would suit you much better.
