| I've come across TT swaps where the radiator was just strung up with wire because they didn't fix the lower mounts, using an fmic instead of sourcing proper ICs and piping and getting everything mounted. Unfortunately to properly determine how good they did on the swap you either need to know TTs and the swap process really well or pull the motor and inspect. It's been a decade since I did mine, but a few of the bigger points to check: Make sure they actually swapped to a TT pump. NA pump can't keep up with TT demands. Swapping the fuel pump controller isn't strictly required, but also requires running an extra wire back to the pump module. IMO the TT radiator adapters that some vendors sell aren't a good idea. The TT mounts are lower on the core support and the adapter doesn't correct this and so the radiator ends up too high. Need to inspect the turbo oil and cooling lines to make sure they're routed correctly, and the proper restrictors are in place. If they swapped turbos onto a TT motor, you need to check that they actually swapped to TT injectors and throttle bodies. If the NA clutch was upgraded before the swap it can probably hang for mild TT power but will need to be upgraded before turning the power up. Other than that, just making sure that everything that's there looks like it's done properly. Nothing zip tied or wired into place. If they had a shop do the swap that's not always a good thing, as it's complicated and a lot of shops don't care to deal with the fine details which there are a lot of in a TT swap.
