PLEASE look at these turbo pics for me!

I am looking to get a used set of TT's for the FD. I was on thepartstrader.com and got some pics of these and was wondering if you guys can find any noticable defects?

Thanks a lot!

Any real problems with the turbos you won't see from external pictures. If the price is fair, and the guy is honest, I think you'll get a good set.

turbos

Pics don't tell much. I think you really need to see them up close for oil/coolant leaks, turbo shaft play, and if the manifold cracks are small enough to ignore or fix.

Pics are not going to be enough. You'll need to take the turbos off the turbo manifold to see the real damage. My turbos were craked on the inside which would normally have not been detected through a picture.
