So the search for a TE04H begins tommorow @ the junkyard. Any tips from any of you boost aficiandos when it comes to finding a good turbo? I'm quite familiar with scavenging junkyards, but never for a turbo before. What kind of shape should i expect the turbo's to be in, what shape is acceptable, i'm obviously going to rebuild the turbo before actually using it, but is a little surface rust ok? Check for shaft play right, how much is too much? Thanks in advance.

Any tips, comments or suggestions are not only welcome but VERY appreciated!
