I just had my t3 turbo rebuilt and sat it on the shelf when i recieved it as happy as can be I come back to it for the install and check it out, it has noticeable shaft play in/out side/side just as it did before Is this how a rebuilt turbo feels? i thought it would be tight and may have the littlest bit of play for oil but not this much. What do you all think?

 

It should not have the same shaft play as before the rebuilt. I rebuilt mine myself, and I could notice the difference in tightness when I was done. Contact the person/shop that rebuilt it for you and discuss the issue with him/them.

 

any other thoughts?

 

 

I did it my self and there was none. FYI don't do it your self.

 

There should be no in and out play and very little side to side as there will be a bit for the clearance in the bearings.Do not install it send it back.

 

who did the work for you?

 

Yeah I would teake it to the place and bitch

 

 

what kind of turbo were you working on?
