Turbo shaft play?

[HIROLLA]

Hi guys

Is a Turbo supposed to have the VERY slightest shaft play? i would assume so otherwise it would be too tight?

My friend wants to buy a t3 its new but has the VERY slightest shaft play?

Thanks

 

[LowVp]

my t3/t4 had none at all

 

[HIROLLA]

Have u used it? And does it have some now? or not?

thanks

Thanks cracker i thought they should have a very tiny bit.

mine is a brand spanker and it has not much if u wobby the shaft side to side and 0 if u push it back/forth... remember when it spools it centers its self inside the bearing.... thats why its ballanced

yea im the same no shaft play backwards and forwards and its almost 0 up and down

 

[cracker]

u need to have some, theres less once theres oil in side but all standard bearing turbos have some degress of up down/side to side play, should have none or almost no end float
