Default Coming from Socal to check out a car, need a buddy to come see it with me.

I'll be coming up to norcal to check out a car. It is a EG hatch with LS Turbo but I have never done any type of turbo work before. I know nothing about what to look for in terms of defects, etc. I need a turbo knowledgeable person to come with me to see this car and basically tell me if it's any good. I don't have much money but I'd be willing to buy you lunch or something if you help me out. And if you ever need a favor out in socal I'd be there for ya lol. PM me if you're interested in helping a newbie out. Thanks!

Oh, it's located in Rohnert Park, about an hour or so North of SF.

hmm if it was in sacramento i would check it out.. just be smart about it.. look to see if it smokes .. all turbo lines are not leaking.. check the oil. check the water. make sure it goes in every gear... let it run for like 30 mins to see if it over heats.. look at the wiring .. make sure he has all paper work and vins are good. and u should be good
