Turbo Question

Hey everyone-
Can anyone tell me what the 15 stands for in the Viggen turbo
(i.e. MHI TD04HL-"15T"-5cm2)?
Maptun offers a stage V upgrade which has the "18T" turbo. If I can simply upgrade from 15T to 18T without buying a whole new turbocharger, then I believe that would be the most cost effective method. BTW, my Viggen already is at 300hp (according to a gtech). I am looking for 345 to 350hp. What exactly does that particular part look like and what is its function? Could I expect an increase in horsepower with an "18T" turbo alone? Also, I have read that upgrading from 5cm housing to 6cm will offer more mid/high range power.... what is the 5cm part? I am trying to learn more about turbo's as they seem to be the most complex area of upgrades/aftermarket parts, so any insight would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Tom
