Default Buying a used turbo, is it good?
N00b here, I have searched and searched but while I have learned much that I needed to know, I can't find any info on what to look for in a used turbo. How can I tell if it is a good, useable unit?


If the info is here, and I'm to stupid to find it, feel free to flame away!

Otherwise any help is appreciated!

Biggest thing to check is that it spins freely by hand and there's no wobble in the shaft.
