check for shaft wobble. If it has too much side to side movement it could need a rebuild.

Yeah my main concern would be the turbo in general, however you also want to make sure there are no leaks in the exhaust piping. What kit are you looking at purchasing?

Just be carefull with car tuning kits apparently the A2A intercoolers aren't all that good(this is what other people have said), also apparently customer service is lacking with that kit as well.

hey like they say be sure the turbo is not damaged or worn and check out the post by _ damnir_ , and personaly the car tuning kit is not that bad, including the A2A but customer support sucks.
ya there is a differance in 98-03 and the 04 kits but it's just in the piping and the type of turbo you'll get
