Message	5 sp. tranny and precats pulled from the engine on my 94TT, I can now get a good look at the turbos. The turbos seem to spin freely and without slop/play. The water and oil line connections don't show signs of leaking. I am wondering if I should check out the waste gate movement, by applying pressure to one of the lines as shown in a FSM procedure, and generally inspect the sealing of the waste gates? Any thoughts (other than replacing the turbos) on what more to check out now that I can get my hands on them? Thanks.
