Lol picture says it all, got a torque wrench from aldi for 20bucks man, some stores still have them and they seem quite good lol. I have warren and brown ones for smaller stuff. Couldn't pass it up for 20 bucks.

Also gunna....our cars have a McPherson front end with strut towers and sh*t lol...not even close.

That torque wrench is from supercheap . $130 normaly but this one was only used once to fit a head and the guy did not want it no more so I bought it of him for $40 .thought it is better than guess with a wheel brace

Wow I did not realise how much shaft play that turbo has .have bolted it to the manifold and it has up and down movment and in and out .is that normal .also is that turbo lined up corectly (the inlet ) and what about the oil lines and water lines?9ece49321970e436d55b36243f6982ab.jpg3b0bbdadfe5ba4a4ef605a43b3d8365b.jpg

 

Feels like the turbo was filled with grease and now that I moved it it has lot of movment

it should hardly move at all... less than a mm.

but... as long as it's not touching the housing with the blades, it'll survive normal operation.

A little shaft play is normal in a bb turbo. As keif said if it doesn't touch the housing and forward and rear movement isnt rediculous its fine.

Once its hot and has oil pressure at the bearings it will have very little if any.
