Did a boost leak test. Found a few small leaks but mostly found out that one of the turbos was seized. Thanks for the ideas.

Is the car owner a drug dealer or something?? Did he get busted? I don't understand why they would just take one turbo and not take the whole car.
P.S. it's amazing what a little boredom on the midnight shift can do to a person.
