Need to rebuild t3/t4 help on what kit!!!

So the car is blowin a lot of smoke when I get hard into boost, and its been boosted for 2 years now so its time for a rebuild. Problem is, previous owner turbod the car and I dont know what kind of turbo it is. This is all the writing/engraving I could find on the side of the turbo:

Turbocharger
Type: TO4E
Serial Number: KD0601532

Is turbocharger a brand, or are they just stating the obvious?

I need help choosing the right rebuild kit as several people have warned me that there are some not so good kits out there.
I am pretty mechanically savvy, could I do this myself? If not how much do shops usually charge for a rebuild?

it's looks like a garrett just buy another one. it'll be cheaper than a new center cartridge. new t3/t4's go for 600 bucks tops
