and you will be fine. Turbos fail from poor lubrication, low quality oil turns to carbon and clogs turbo oil seals, making them leak and starving turbo bearing for oil. The chunks of carbon that fall out of the turbo oil cooker clog the oil pump pick-up screen and then oil starvation for #4 piston, followed by low oil pressure/volume to balance shaft bearings, low oil supply to main bearings resulting in a big clunk as the engine locks itself up. This is of course the worst case.
If the car looks good, offer $500, nobody buys a broken car! Then get a used tdo4 turbo and install, drop the oil pan and clean the screen. Use mobil 1 0-40 and drive and enjoy. If you need a motor buy a 94- 98 2.3 9000t for cheap and use the short block.
