I finally took it off and apart yesterday , it was filthy inside but both impeller wheels were remarkably clean .
I know the oil seals were gone as the inside of the ' cold ' (intake) side of the turbo were covered in a 1/16" coating of old black oil residue .
The shaft had too much axial (forth & back) play yet it was fairly stiff to turn by hand ~ I could twirl it wit my fingers but as soon as I let go , it stopped , didn't spin to a stop .
I'm taking some (crappy) pictures and will post 'em up when I'm done .
A seriously fiddly job indeed , good thing I try to keep my engine cleaner than most .
