Turbo bearing play

Is it side to side movement or in and out that's the main problem?

Also, where can I get an adapter plate for an RST manifold to fit a zetec?

in and out on a normal journal bearing turbo isn't a good thing.
gt's vary a little as they have in and out play to use for oil cushioning apparently.

Thanks mate.
It's just a standard RST T3, I was told it had some play but I'm struggling to feel any in-out, just a little side to side.

side to side is ok, that is usually taken up when oil gets round the journals.
as long as the blades don't contact the housings when running it should be fine.
