Help identifying this turbo

Need some help identifying this turbo. I bought this car as is and am trying to tune the car but cannot for the life of me find out the model. Its a borgwarner turbo and thing is so large it doesnt fit underneath the hood.

A simple Google search for Brorg Warner 178087 pulled up several links.

Looks like it's some diesel turbo that gets used on a John Deere engine?

Reach out to Borg Warner......I'm sure if you give them that model number, they can get you all the actual specs on the turbo as far as compressor size, etc.

I bet that sucker is going to be laggy as hell...it looks like a monster!

Thank you very much for your help man. I emailed them a picture of the turbo and the serial number and they told me it is a borgwarner s300 6973. This thing is extremely laggy.
