I picked up a slightly used Greddy turbo kit and I finally got to closely inspect the turbo and have found what look to be potential problems. There seems to be oil on the clamp between the compressor and turbine. It looks as thought the wastegate actuator is slightly dented and bent down a bit along with the shaft that it is attatched to.

There also is some play in the shaft but it spins freely. I don't know how to post pics in here so if you can help me by posting your e-mail address I can send pics of the problems. My e-mail is jsadowc591@rogers.com I appreciate any help I can get here.
