If its a new rebuilt unit , it will move more than you think it should. Until its had full oil pressure in it then the bearings won't have settled. If its been properly balanced then when it spins it will do it in plane with the shaft, no wobble and won't touch the housings. Don't sweat sure it'll be fine

fook, that's expensive.

at the moment, i have those 3 gaskets, syringe,

7 bolts and nuts. i assume this is for the downpipe>turbo(4) and turbo>manifold(3).

this is what else i need on the list (I think?)..

056 103 377       (washers x 4)
N 013 812 8       (oil feed pipe washers x 2)
N 013 814 9       (water pipe washers x 4)
N 014 702 13     (oil return bolts x 2)
058 145 791      (washers x 3)

this sound about right?  :undecided:
