At the rear of the intake manifold, there is a plastic tube. T in a boost or pressure gauge there and run it into the cabin. You can check boost pressure while you drive. You should get a good 9-10PSI under full boost.
To check the turbo bearings, you can try moving the compressor wheel on the XYZ axis to check for play. Minimal play is OK but if you can move it in and out or it touches the housing, that is not good.
