Ask them to do the compression check if possible. If they seem hesitant, then it may seem like the car may only last a few months before going out.
As far as an eye inspection, I would look out for any extra grime and dirt build up. If it was a "good" engine swap, they should have cleaned the motor AND under the hood. If any grime has accumulated, there could have been a problem that is "fixed" for now, but may so up in the future. I wish I could help you more with the turbo area of the car but, my mk3 is just a N/A. This is all just what come to mind and may not even be right. Just be smart about it. If it seems fishy at all, don't buy it.
