Series 5 Turbo Shaft Play Spec?
My turbo that I ordered off eBay showed up today. What kinda things should I be looking for as far as shaft play? It doesn't have any in/out shaft play, but has some side to side. What's spec for side to side? It doesn't seem to be contacting the housing, but its hard to tell. The bearings spin extremely freely.
What kinda costs would I be looking at if it needs rebuilding and where should I get it done? I searched for some shaft play topics, but I couldn't find anything specific for side to side play.

If you can wiggle it and it moves to where its noticable then I say its probley bad (well really any movement is bad) but a little bit is ok...just remember that the turbo spins at very high rpms i.e. 60k....mine had a little...if it fails you can always upgrade to a ball bearing turbo(very nice)!!!
