What do you think of the condition? I have no idea what to look for in regards to turbo health. They have no shaft play and all the blades are in good shape. ---

other than what you mentioned, check the housings for cracks. I don’t see any, but I didn’t look terribly closely. Many turbos tend to crack housings near the wastegate flap. ---

no way to tell unless you look at them first hand check for oil in the compressor and turbine housings, check for play, check for cracks if all those are good you should be fine, they just look dirty ---

Yes. Good K03’s from an 2001 S4 with about 40K on them on stock boost. They are pretty mint. ---
