CaRtZ Member 9 Member For: 16y 8d Posted 21/11/08 11:02 AM Share Posted 21/11/08 11:02 AM got my hands on a shmick new 35/40one of my mates mentioned the ammount of shaft play is troubling, I explained it has never had oil in it. but then I found 3 paint pen marks on it in the shape of a triangle, possibly signifying a faulty or repaired productso how much play is acceptable?

I would say your turbo is perfect and you mate doesnt know what hes talking about , I have seen a guy knock back a second hand but unused turbo because he said it had too much shaft play lmao.
