Intake runners are already numbered for those of us who can't tell left from our OTHER left and the firing order is right up front there easy to read. I like that. As for the company, I don't remember them. Sorry
Marine stuff maybe?

It's an SBC intake. It came as a turbo kit I think in the early 70's

this is where I've seen it mentioned before.
Here's one that was on Ebay

Is that a turbo inlet on the side of the intake along with an intercooler water port off the side? Not sure how an inlet in the intake would work like that... I think the air would blow right out the carb?
May be a pop-off valve or waste gate-type device?

The ebay link says its a draw thru system. I would take that to mean that it pulls the fuel and air into the intake then the turbo. The turbo then pushes the aircharge back into the intake under the carb plenum. (there must be 2 different plenums for this to work.) The picture doesn't appear to have an intercooler. The part in Slazzen's pic is pressurized by the turbo adding boost to the intake charge. The square looking hole is the area the turbo draws the air and fuel charge from. Look at the ebay link closely and it will make alot more sense.

Ps Slazzen that thing is kinda neat did you get the rest of the system too?

I have one of those kits in a box somewhere in the shop.....
Not much I can add, except they were designed to fit under the hood of a Corvette. I first saw one in the late 70s.
Better go ahead and let PorknBeaner have it---it's pretty much useless without the rest of the parts.Oh, and they didn't come with Holley adapters--they're meant for quadrajunks.
