Gonna be checking the Turbo tonite on the cossie, just to see if there is any play in the shaft etc, i remeber being told when i was selling my old cossie T3 that there is always a bit of play, but other than that i cant remember which way there should be play etc, can someone tell me what to generally look for with regards to checking for Play in the shaft

In and out is very bad news...
a good turbo will also have minimal movement left/right or up/down.
The reason for play is that the bearings float (hence the pressure oil feed) - and so without the pressure there is some movement.
By some I mean a TINY amount - a natscock - virtually fuck all!!!
