Default Blown Motor

If I were to buy a turbo kit used from a blown motor is there anything I would need to watch out for???

I'd have the turbos checked out to make sure no metal from the motor chewed up the turbine blades. That, and make sure you get all the little stuff like the bolts, nuts, hose clamps, that came with the kit, off the blown motor.
