It's normal to have some side to side play in the turbo shaft, but there should not be any end to end play.   
> It was explained to me that the shaft runs on a layer of oil, so it has some slop when there's no oil flow.   
Makes sense. Thanks.
 
>The wheel should not be able to touch the wall of the turbo housing due to side play.   
I tried that. It doesn't touch.
 
Are you missing anything that could have been injested into the engine and spit out as goo?   
I haven't seen the cat lately. (:> )

Cool. Your paypal is in hand, and will be on its way to you shortly.
