Rob, I am no expert by any means in the turbo category. My gut feeling is if you have to ask all these questions, you are probably better off buying a turbo kit from one of the vendors vs. trying to assemble one yourself. I am sure there are guys on this forum who can and do build one off kits for themselves, etc but the vast majority of turbo users on here bought the kit whole and didn't piece it together. I only say this because in the end, you may have more money wrapped up in doing it yourself than by just buying a ready to go kit.

There's a long number on a flat spot on the cartridge (the middle part). Search Garrett's site to cross it to a model. Numbers on the housing's are compressor and stator size.
