as with any used turbo i would suggest seals replacement. it will save you a lot of headache. look for no cracks on turbines minimal shaft play depending on if the turbo has "floating" rice bearings or not some garretts are required to have some shaft play for the turbo shaft to lubricate itself in those turbos some shaft play is good while no shaft play is bad usually indicates "coked" up bearings.
