Now??

If you don't know the service history, there is no time like the present.

Otherwise, use the Toyota service manual as a good guide.

For what it is worth, I have read that there are a number of different CT26 turbochargers. My understanding is they are the same housing but different turbines. I believe a number of petrol rice burner/boy racer cars have the CT26 standard from Toyota eg MR2 etc.
