Turbo play

[valdes1987]

Hi,

My turbo have radial play on shaft about 1,5mm. Is this normal??? No oil leaks yet

[zollaf]

is there any play back and forth ?

[valdes1987]

do you mean axial??

[zollaf]

no, back and forth,. there should be a bit of play up and down but none back and forth.

[valdes1987]

yes about 2mm. probably for rebuild :/

[zollaf]

yep, knackered.

[valdes1987]

how much does cost full rebuild? or better to buy used turbo???

[zollaf]

call either turbo technics or midland turbo. used turbo is good option if you can get one thats in as new condition. there are cheaper turbos available, they come from china and are crap, no matter what the seller tells you. there are also place that recon turbos on the cheap. they use chinese parts and they are crap, no matter what you are told.
