Evo Noise -- Turbo Shaft play?

Hey Everyone!

Heres yet another problem with my evo..... So, theres this really loud noise, kinda like metal clanking.... The noise seems to be coming from the turbo or in the turbo area. Is the shaft play, a bad turbo or something else?

Video Link (Listen closely, the noise is much louder in person though..): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwi1...ature=youtu.be

Thanks for the help!

It doesn't sound like a noise a turbo would make. Maybe a little lifter noise.

Mad turbos usually sound like a kazoo. Easiest way to tell if it's the turbo though, is to stay by the engine and have some one else shut the engine. The turbo will spin for a few to several seconds after the engine is stopped, so you'll be able to tell if that's the noise.

Heres a vid:

Sorry about the background noise and the crappy sound, might be hard to hear it.

Easiest way to tell is pull off the intake and check shaft play, only takes a few minutes
