crankwalk, if the car feels funny when shifting then it might have c-walk.
also look out to see if the turbo is worn out.

to check the turbo for shaft play, take the air intake off at the turbo, put your finger on the shaft/wheel and see if there is any movement. VERY little is normal, if there is alot than it needs rebuilt/replaced.
