Default What is what?

I have been reading up about turbo's and DIY turbo setups but I realized that I dont really konw that much about what is what on a turbo. I wouldnt really konw which side is the exhaust side and which side is the intake side. I wouldnt be able to tell the difference between an externally wastegated and an internally wastegated turbo.

I was hoping someone would have a link that shows the differnt parts of a turbo? Or maby just a picture or two with explanations?

Sorry for the long post, I hope this isnt to much to ask, but if it is I guess ill just get flamed :P
