Default Shaft play?

how much shaft play side to side would you say is tollerable in a turbo?
and if there is too much, how hard is it to rebuild it?

it's not too hard..but depending on the turbo and the price you paid...sometimes it's cheaper just to get a new one.. i.e. no reason to rebuild a 60 dollar junkyard snail, and when you buy a new one..take your old one and waste money building a propane jet turbine..lol
