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 -------------------- |

well, im not to sure. but i think that depends on how heavy the turbine is to build up inertia to keep spinning. also the bearings perform the best when nice and warm, with a steady supply of clean oil lubing them. by turning the turbine slowly and wiggly it a bit you can feel for shaft splay, other than that im clueless on checking a turbo off the engine.
