Is my turbo Junk?
hi, my turbocharger seems to have shaft play up and down. if it is junk is there some where i can get a rebuild kit for it? or would it just be more worth it to upgrade to a s5 or a big single insted?

As mentioned, a little play is normal - oil pressure will take up the slack while running. If the turbine or compressor is touching the inside of the housing though, then you have a problem.

Side to side play is normal but as mentioned none of the wheels should contact the housings. Front to back play is not though, and means that the turbocharger is worn.
