It should be a garrett T25

if you look on top of the turbo where the oil feed goes in there should be a tag with all the details on there,
i would strongly advise NOT to rebuild it yourself but have a company like Turbo Dynamics overhaul it for you,

Currently looking to fot either a T28 from a nissan pulsar or a T3 from a cossie to my 90 toi give it a bit more boost

i would be contacting the "reconditioner" & seeing what they have to say......
Then again having delt with  well know turbo company that supplied a customer a fancy turbo which had been fitted & the engine started 1/2 dozen times in a year whilst other work was being carried out, when it started leaking oil they turned round & said tough,
where is it leaking oil from?

cant really see ,but looks like it is burning it aswell can see smoke coming out from the housing and the down pipe when i stop and lift the bonnet ,plus some dripping out of the exhaust at the first join undeneath.

it sounds like the "seals" on the exhaust side are leaking, is the engine using oil heavily? when my original tubby died & fitted a genuine garrett one & so far has lasted 3 years running at 22psi of boost

doesnt seem to be using much oil ,mind you havent done many miles after complete engine rebuild.
