DSM=Diamond Star Motors
JDM= Japanese Domestic Market
ASM= not sure but it may have to do with the Asian ? Market
AEM=high performance company
and the turbo names refer to the sizing and a t04e is a pretty big sized turbo

Automotive Specialty Market = SEMA

and

Aftermarket Services Market..

But I seen it more commonly used as Asian Specialty Market.
