Take it to a shop that specializes in turbo cars and have them give it a once over. I would make sure there is no play in the turbo and also check the valves in the head. To be honest, I don't think I would buy a turbo s2000, I would opt to buy a stock s2000 and turbo it myself. Too many issues could arise from a poorly installed/tuned turbo setup.
