Turbo good or bad?

[240sx_Dylan]

Hey guys i hope im posting in the right place. so i just picked up a 89 240sx hatch with an sr20det with the stock t25 and iv got a gt2871r from twisted motions that the guy threw in on the deal. im just wondering what to check for to make sure the t28 is good? i checked shaft play and theres little to none and the turbine spins pretty freely, anything else i should be checking for?
thanks in advanced for the help guys!

Excessive or oily looking exhaust housing. Also any score marks? In and out shaft play should be minimal if it's moving a fair amount might be concerning. But as long as the wheels Don't touch when you spin it from side to side it should be good to test out.

i looked and theres no score marks, look like theres been some oil tossed through there. the guy said the t28 needed new seals but i dont think you can buy them for that turbo can you? theres no type of rebuild kit for it

Journal bearing can be rebuilt if you are METICULOUS. There are
A few guides out there if you search
