Hey Guys,
Did some maintenance today and finally got an endoscope down the intakes to see what 86k miles (60k at 17.5psi) looks like. Need some advice/opinions on how bad the overspeed is at the rear turbo. Maybe @VargasTurboTech can chime in.
Thanks!

I am assuming the oil on the rear turbo is from the PCV. Hoping anyway... When knocking the turbos (front and rear) with the endoscope they didn't seem to have play, but I did get them to rotate some.
I adjusted the rear wastegate tighter by 2 turns a long time ago to get rid of some rattle. It worked, but likely it has been driven harder than the front turbo. I will need to tighten the front up.
