OK , now i got that outta my system. Check for shaftplay in the turbo. Look for oil around the housings and wheels and inlet and such. Honestly it sounds too good to be true.
The IC have it pressure tested. look for dents and such

Grab the end of the shaft and wiggle it around a bit... (you know which shaft right?)
Wiggle it both in/out and up/down, there should very very little movement...
Check the wheels for excess oil and buildup... make sure the shaft spins freely...

Put you finger in the exhaust outlet and if you get oil on your finger, then the turbo seals are gone. Same with the compressor housing.
Shaft play is how much the wheels and shaft moves. Its okay to have a little bit of shaft play (moves up/down/left/right) But the turbo is dead if the Shaft moves in and out.
