Well, a small amount of side to side is generally ok, its in and out that is normal trouble! But pulling on the turbine like that doesn't help at all!

its nothing that drastic, the guy who i bought it off said that the play will get taken up by the oil pressure???

The type of bearing inside ya turbo does rely on oil pressure to centralise the shaft. Should be fine whe fitted and running !
