you need to give much more info. T4 is the size of the turbine housing/flange or the family of compressor wheels the turbo is from. Saying it's a T4 hybrid turbo is like saying "I own a car, guess what kind".

Only real way to get more info on the turbo is to pull the housing off and measure the inducer/excuders with a caliper and post the findings. 99% chance though that it is too small and is a t3/t4 (t3 hot side, t4 cold side) since you say it's a hybrid and for an import.

No... It's like saying "I own a 2 door car, guess what kind"...
