Ok. It'll be SR swapping time soon enough. What exaclty should I be looking for to ensure I get a good motor?

I've a feeling I should have the turbo checked for play in the bearings, compression tested, and I've heard leakdown tested. How would i test that? What else should I be looking for when I'm looking at a SR to ensure a good motor swap?
