I recently purchased a used stock turbo off evom. I just want to know if it is good. Is it normal for the shaft to have play up and down? I can see the shaft move up and down. It is starting to show signs of scuffing on the housing.

I need to replace my turbo because the seals are leaking and there is oil in inlet of the turbo. My turbo has a little bit more play but not much.

I was told that there wasn't any play in the shaft.
If anyone has any info on this, if would be a help.

thanks

 

Well it is ok to have a slight bit of shaft play but if it is scuffing the housing then it is toast. Do not put that on your car.

 

you should have very very little shaft play..looks to me that you have been shafted.

 

A little bit of radial shaft play is okay but you dont want it to be moving in and out.

 

yaah try and get a refund- i have a turbo up for sale with no shaft play
