There's no really a whole lot of 'characteristic' things that go on the 32's. It's really just a case of checking the usual stuff, oil leaks, etc, and judging wether or not the car has been looked after.

Saying that, make sure you take it for a test drive and get it on boost a few times. Coil packs on the RB's aren't the most reliable things over time, and if they're on the way out, you'll find it hesitates briefly before full boost.
