ok pal do you know much about shaft play im not sure if the turbo needs rebuilding theres play in the shaft left to right and front to back theres not much left to right  i think oil pressure will take that up im just botherd about the front to rear

if you mean the exhaust housing on the turbo its probably because they didnt let it cool down?
