intercooled? injectors? maf? fuel pump?
look at teh belt make sure its not cracked or dryrot.
make sure teh impeller spins freely and the head unit has no leaks.
make sure all parts are there you need.

Make sure it spins smooth and not to much play back in fourth at the shaft. Make sure the impeller isnt beat up or alot of nicks...see how the oil looks in it if theres any in it.See how the seal looks where you put the pulley on. See if you see any signs of leakage before.

That unit is not self contained so i wouldn't think there would be any oil in it. Check for leaks, Just the overall condition of everything and ask the guy any questions you have.
