The seller has told me that this engine is still on the pallete that it come over on from japan. The intention was to get it running, but he never touched it. Now selling it after many years.

I am weary that the engine may have been sitting for years, unstarted, therefore likely to have internal damage like rusty boars, or siezed altogether. I know that the flywheel and pulleys have rusted. This is why I plan on stripping it down just to check its insides. Is this overkill? Will a compression test verify the bearings etc are all good?

I am unsure about forged pistons at this stage, but if pistons are required I will consider getting good ones.
I dont know about the turbo either. I really dont know whats involved with turbos. It is likely that I will get the stock one fired up first, that is if its not screwed. But after feeding on your thoughts, I may just get aftermarket turbo straight away.
