thats the same turbo i ran on mine
seals and bearings went in mine too
perfect size for a 1600 or smaller though

The setup looks like the tubo sits really low, down at sump level. If thats the case you may not need new seals. Oil coming out of turbos really needs to flow as close to downhill vertical as possible. It wont travel horizontal very well at all, and even worse if it entering the sump below the oil level. My turbo set up in my kombi sat higher than this one appears and I had to use a modified dry sump pump to scavenge from the turbo. When I put it in my fastback I modified the exhaust and it sat even lower at oil pump level. The scavenge pump didnt work at that height so I had to make a little sump that sat below the turbo and scavenge from there.

Not trying to knock the system, just saying the turbo could be in better nick than you think.
