What are the main things to look for when buying a second hand turbo car.
apart from the obvious about whether the struts show any signs of leaking and the oil looks clean and most of the electrics work, how can i tell if a turbo engine is in good condition other than service history.
are there any visual checks that i can carry out?
in question the car would be a toyota soarer
1992 so i assume it is the 1jz gte.
and is there anything troublesome with this particular model that i should really look out for?
any help would be appreciated on this guys.


i suppose this also translates to all sorts of turbo'd engines as well???
