So while my son's car is in the shop after the engine rebuild, I decided to take apart his turbo and see why the wheels have some lateral movement. Typically the tag should tell me what the turbo is supposed to be but it turns out it is a reman. I would like to get a rebuild kit for it, I do not trust many of the shops out there when they do not even list his car as an option. So what the heck do I look for when looking for parts?
1985 Turbo 1 car Garrett turbo T1? T2? T3? T4?
Not sure what the A/R specs are, and can some one break down the tag for me to tell me some info on what we have?

I realize it is a T-1 Garrett turbo. Money is tights so I am trying to rebuild myself to save money. I just do not know what to ask for or where to go.
Thanks!

Thanks Todd for the help. I really appreciate it. As for the rebuilding the kit is only as good as the quality and since I know very little about the ins and outs of the turbo that info is money well spent.
we converted the engine while out to a T2 set up with the one piece intake and different distributor, electronics, 3 bar map ETC.
Engine got a 89 roller cam and lifters, a little porting and fresh internals.
It was a T-1 motor so we upgraded the head bolts to 11mm as well.
Setting boost limit to like 14-15psi.
I will give that company a ring tomorrow am. All bolts came out except on on the exhaust snail side.
