81 3.8L Turbo

Hey everyone i have a 1981 Monte with a 3.8L V6 Turbo and i can't find any info on the turbo at all. I need to try to figure out what kind of turbo it is because my turbo is not working. I believe the Turbo Wastegate Actuator is not functining...? Any help would be awsome! I would also like to find some sites that supply front bumper parking light lenses...? Thanx!!!
