GT30 Turbo's (again!!)
Curious.
GT30 turbos being roller bearing or ball bearing etc.
do they have more shaft play than your regular T34?
mines got alot of play especially in comparism to my old T34 & T38, both up and down by a good few mm and also in and out by about 4 - 5 mm.
just a little worried thats all, just the car it came off was very slightly smokey at times and then with the turbo having this bit of play im getting worried on what ive spent money on.

Cheers Doug.
Yes it is Rich .... can just see the unpleasantness of maybe falling out with a mate, which i want to avoid
if it is pooped im going to be totally fooked off at myself for parting with that money,just want to make sure before i mention it to him

RS1 - thats not really where this thread is trying to go.
he is a good mate, i know him and the car and have pretty much been there for almost every mile the turbo has covered - and with it having only covered 2000 miles it was never considered to be an issue.
he is certainly not trying to stich me up with a dodgy turbo - and it has been spoken that if it is pooped that we will sort it amicably!
but with myself having never had any true experince with the GT range of turbos i was just after an extra opinion.
Cheers for the input people.

...my GT35 has movement side to side and in and out from COLD no idea the amount but its quite normal compared to a normal turbo 
Kelv can you spin the comp wheel and manage to push it to touch the housing?..If not then it should be within tolerences....
