1984 8V Turbo Turbocharger Issues

Hi all,
Having fixed the CV Axle problem on my newly acquired '84 900 Turbo 8 valve, I was finally able to put my foot into it a little and was rewarded with a loud rasping noise about when I would have expected the Turbo to kick in - and any boost seemed either short-lived or weak.
Would anyone know what model of Turbocharger this car would've come with? Didn't Saab produce both an 8 valve and sixteen valve turbo in '84? Did both use the same Turbocharger? Is there any upgrade path here to a more recent Turbocharger?
Should I look into a new one or try to rebuild? Or have it rebuilt? I'll check it for end play tomorrow, but in the meantime I'm just trying to assess my options.
I appreciate everyone's help with the CV Axle! Bad Turbocharger or not, it was a joy to drive without the thumping of the CV joint!
David
