Hey Dan, you can check on the general condition not only by date or what you may have been told. The truth can be found by doing the simple following checks:
It's a good idea to remove the oil drain fitting from the turbo core and check for sludge or carbon build-up. Interestingly - despite common belief - it's not always a good sign to have minimal axial shaft play. This can in fact mean that there's an oil/carbon build-up that's making the shaft feel tight. On the other hand, too much axial play, when the wheels are touching (or very near touching) the inside of the housing obviously bad!!! Getting my turbo balanced and a seal kit is my next step. - Z20ET project mk 2...
By the way, what is the actual name of the turbo??? RB25? What is your compressor number? Mine is 45V1 No idea what that actually means, but it must stand for it's spec.
Cheers
