check the blades are in good nick
and give the shaft a wiggle to make sure there is minimal movment
just a genral look over
nothing else you can do really

as said, make sure there are no bits missing or bending on the blades
the shaft of the turbo will move up and down a little but not by alot, few mm maybe, but if you can pull the shaft out, even a little, its probably fucked
check for cracks in the exhaust housing
check the wastegate penny for cracks, make sure it shuts nicely against the housing

Cheers mate look well clean apart from a tiny bit on one edge of the blade, it might just be the picture though. The trouble is i dont know how much a tiny little bit on one blade effects the turbo. Apparently the guy can be well trusted though

if it has any damage what ever or how every big or small then dont bother mate
