2. The bolt on the back of the turbine is also normal since that's one of the ways IHI balances its turbochargers.
3. If the fin on the turbine is painted a little (white or something) then that is the mark used to balance the turbo and is also totally normal.

Exactly as stated above
No worries there, my VF30 appeared the same way(besides the bend in the line, not much to worry about there either though)
