ok cheers mate, ill just send my one off for a rebuild. theres only a slight amount of play in the shaft side to side but none back and forth and it didnt smoke on boost. also found the penny valve in the elbow is very loose and was the cause of the rattling in the exhaust also must have been the reason i was dropping a bit of boost pressure
