is it true that there is always play on the shaft on the turbo? and it is reduced when there is oil in the turbo? is it the bearings on the shaft thet make it move? If you could help me that would be great. thanx neil

Mitsi Evo 7, 911, Cossie. & all the chavs ...... won no problem

there is some "slight" play in the lateral & axial
refer to the Haynes manual and use a DTI to check clearances

on a new turbo, there is as close to ZERO axial, and somet like 1 to 1.5mm or so radial movement at the tip of the compressor nut.

The compressor should not touch the side of the housing however. if it does, be suspicious.
