Talking What to look for in a used turbo...

I know I'm getting close to the day where i will need a new set of turbos. I would rather find a good condition pair from a wrecked 7. So what do i look for? I know to look for oil leakage and play, but what else can i get suckered into? Thanks for the help.

Well definitely beware of housings with large cracks. Personally I would start looking for good deals on new stock turbos. I see them occasionally.
