Ricky N Member 93 Member For: 15y 8m 28d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 05/07/10 02:11 PM Share Posted 05/07/10 02:11 PM What was that banging noise when you were playing with it with your fingers?Was it in the back ground or was it happening when you pushed and pulled on the compressor wheel?By the sounds of it and the amount of play looks like it has collapsed bearings but I am not going to even try to give an exact diagnosis over the internet. Best get it into a turbo shop for a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 10/07/10 02:46 AM Share Posted 10/07/10 02:46 AM I would be worried if he thinks that is within tollerances. shaft off centre is not within tollerances.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
