What are the odds of a turbo still being good after it has sat for close to ten years?

If it still spinal freely with your hand then it.should be fine, as long as it hasn't gotten wet or been in a lot of.moisture it should be fine.

Good as in it's good to be bolted on and go? - Probably not.
Good as in it can be easily rebuilt with new bearings and blades if necessary? - very likely if it's a name brand, like Garrett, Precision, etc.

Again, it really depends how the turbo was stored. Are you picking it up from a junk yard and it's experience 10yrs of seasons? Or was it stored in a sealed container with all the parts lubricated?

Turbo coupe?

even if it was like new it would have old tech and wouldnt be worth the time/hassle. No matter if it even looks good that old you would want to rebuild it regardless.

As long as it spins and doesn't wiggle it's fine is it a ball bearing turbo? Mine sat for 3 years
