Garrett turbo identification
How do I identify my turbine? There's a metal plate on the center section but it doesn't have anything I can deciper as a model number. Is the raised lettering on the compressor housing the only way?

Tag on the center section
number stamped inside of the compressor outlet
raised lettering on the compressor housing
This is why I think I need to rebuild the turbo. There's a TON of oil in the intake tract before the turbine but I just realized that there's a vac line that goes from the valve cover to this part. Wouldn't that be a HUGE way to suck oil out of the cam area and put it into the compressor?

It is an old BEGi kit. The installation manual says it's version 4.2. The PO said there was an offering for a "small ball bearing" turbo and a "large ball bearing" turbo and he got the smaller one. I think he was referring to bearing size, not turbine size.
Should I cap that vac line on the turbine inlet and put a breather on the valve cover? It seems to be the entry point for the oil.
