If you're unsure off what to look for, maybe take some piccys and post them up. Blown turbos are fairly rare on these things if the car is well maintained...Cheers,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look for bent blades indicating they have come in contact with the housing.Does it spin freely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
