There is another issue that seldom comes up.
But, one member of one of the Forums did not know it but his car had a turbo that had previously been replaced by an exchanged rebuilt turbo.

Garrette/Air Research makes undersized ID bearings so that worn Turbine Shafts can be reground and reused and oversized OD bearings so that the Turbochager Bearing Housing can be bored oversized and reused.
That guy got one of those that did not have the standard bearings in it so that the standard bearings kit he bought would not work.

Can't remember any one posting specs on journal or bearing bore sizes that would help determine if you have oversized or undersized.
Also there is several versions of torquing the shaft nut which differ from each other.
