Default turbo inspection

OK here goes. I have my 1994 850T eng apart, and will start to reassemble shortly. While I have it apart I was wondering what I should look for while inspecting the turbo. I want it to be right when it goes back on the car.

See if there is any shaft play at all in the turbo.

No not yet. I got kicked on the thigh by one of our horses, thought he broke my femur. I can hardly get around (except to buy Volvo's), and I have to get liquid sealant from stealer along with some spark plug o-rings.

Also check all of the fins to make sure there aren't any chips or anything like that. In the long run that will wear out the bearing and throw the balance off.

Sounds good. I have indoor parking at my apartment, I'll let you live in it as long as you want if you pay part of the parking cost. Deal?

Um, there's a bunch of restaurants and bars a block away. I'll even let you hang out inside when I'm home.
