• While engine is apart, I want to rebuild the turbo to play safe.  How do I know what turbo I have.  Could it be a T3 or what?  
  
  I have a 1984 1.6TD  it is a CY engine.
  
  The tag on the turbo reads
  VW P/N 068 145 703 E
  Gap 465384 3
  S/N LHO 3 0 8 A

• Turbomaster says it's a Garrett TAO304. So basically a T3.

• Did you go for a 360 thrust bearing upgrade? Are you gonna balance the turbo after the rebuild?

• I ordered the complete rebuild kit.  But I didnt order it in any special way except to be sure i got the dynamic seal.  My turbo works, I just wanted to go over it since I am rebuilding the engine to be sure all other compoments are healthy and ready to go.  So most liekly wit will be the 270 degree/
