Replacement Turbo Questions

I have a couple of questions regarding the replacement of my turbo's cartridge. The car is a 2002 Viggen with a Nordic Stage 4 from GS. All works fine but when I bought the car 9 years ago I had detect some play in the turbine. I try to keep my car in the best mechanical condition by doing lots of preventative maintenance (replaced complete front suspension 3 years ago, replaced all electronic engine sensors, replaced all cooling system last year, etc. and I only use OEM parts) and now with almost 90,000 miles I'm thinking about the turbo. I intend to replace the cartridge with a new stock OEM one (no China charger bits). So here are the questions:
1. Would I notice a difference in power with a new turbo?
2. XSboost sells a Mitsu cartridge and offer an optional 'billet' compressor wheel ($100 more) that apparently delivers 10% more flow.....would I notice that (does flow translate into power?)???
3. Any tips on tearing down and rebuilding a turbo??
