um.. i just had a question...
so if u're collecting parts for a diy turbo kit.. but you don't have everything to put it together yet... how do you test a used turbo to make sure it's in good shape and runs? like.. u can check for shaft play... but not sure what else.... just that some people have like a startup warranty or a 30-90day warranty... or there's just really no way? since i somehow doubt any shop has the resources lying around to just bolt it up and fire it up for a test run -------------------- |

how easy are the turbine and compressor wheels supposed to spin? so smooth that one spin with ur finger it goes like 1+ full turns (like a handheld fan or something?) or it doesn't even go 1 full turn when spun with ur finger but when you turn it with ur finger still on it, it's goes around smooth?
