What toyo motor is this turbo from ? --> I.H.I. - "RHB6" ...

Howdy
I was fortunate enough to aqquire an IHI RHB6 turbocharger today and all associated bits from a generous car-nut..
its fairly old but i have been told by the previous owner it was in perfect order when removed from engine around 6 months ago, but has just been sitting in a box under a huge heap of MK1 escort parts collecting dust.
Apparently it's from a toyota engine around 2 litres .. but maybe a commercial van/ute of some sort?? I dont think its off a deisel tho. I am considering it as the basis for my next future upgrade for the 18Rgeu down the track as otherwise i'd have bought a series5 hitachi, but ive got this one now so why not at least find out if it has any potential..
What i need is any info at all about this turbo, is anyone familiar with it?? I thought someone may have seen/worked on these before?
What i know already: its relatively small, bout the same size as a Piazza Turbo if not larger. It is oil cooled/lubed only. small/tiny internal wastegate  .
-The numbers on the side of the compressor housing are:
Turbo. Spec. '?P16L436BZ2'
Serial No. RHB6'054064
-on the centre shaft housing wall:
'RHB6'
'05 A8'
-on the exhaust housing:
'51'
'PZ'
'18-R' <------ This amazed me when i noticed! 
Has this got anything to do with my 18-R motor? probably not im guessing..
I took the compressor-side cover off and it is really clean and looks to be in okay condition, the wheel still turns quite freely with no shaft play i could really notice...
What is this turbo from? i want to find out more details/specs.
Would this be at all suitable for a 4-cyl 18RGe motor, or would it be pretty pissweak and not worth spending hours making the manifold for?
Would this turbo be worth getting checked out by a professional/rebuilt?
How much are these units worth?
My mate at Cat can take it to get cleaned up sometime when he remembers, and maybe one of the deisel tech dudes will know something..
Thanks heaps to all and anyone who has any info on this.. I can see myself getting some use out of this thing one day.. 
Peace
Cheers

hmm theres really not a whole heap on the internet about this turbo... it may be a little outdated!
most ive been able to find out is that it could be as old as '80-'83... but this is just from some old mailing list chatter somewhere...
hmm, anyone know a good turbo shop that knows about older IHI puffers?

It doesn't have anything after the RHB6?? Like VJ-4??
Sounds like a turbo from a 1500 323turbo, the 1600 DOHC ones have a water cooled core, I don't know if the 626 turbos were.
I don't think I'd bother with it!!

Nah it doesnt.. they are the STI ones arent they??
The serial number is as above, but ive worked out the 'TURBO SPEC.' missing number at the front is a D i think...? (its really poorly punched).
So: 'Turbo spec. : DP16L436BZ2'
or i could be wrong, it could be a zero, or a PI symbol ????
It is in fairly clean condition on the inside of the compressor housing.. i mite just take it apart whn i have some time and polish it and put in on the mantle piece haha...
ohwell you gotta get excited every now and again..
Strange tho cos the previous owner thought it had come off a 2 litre toyota of some sort..?? i thought this a little wierd, cos im thinking.. what 2 litre toyota came out turbo in the 80's???
Would this be worth anything to anyone??
