turbo gurus, turbo noise?

I have this weird rattling noise coming from the engine.

I thought the motor was grenaded, but it idles perfectly, so I cant see that being possible. I still havent gotten around to a compression check.

There seems to be some side to side shaft play, about 1/16 of an inch left to right. Seems like a lot to me, theres no forward or back movement, so I dont know if its the bearings that are wasted, or if it sounds like the impeller or exducer is hitting the housing.

Anyway, what could say it better than this video I made right?

Please let me know what you think.

(PS You can here the sound in the background, almost sounds like someone rattling a spoon in a teacup...)
