Woah perry, this isnt tuners, dont come on here and think that everyone is trying to scam or sell you everything under the sun. We are stating the obvious, if there is in and out shaft play, replace the turbo, its usually cheaper then having it completly rebuilt, especially if the center section needs to be replaced.
Just because you work as an Aerospace engineer, does not mean you know everything about everything. Plus your from Alabama... nuff said.
Not trying to flame but when talking to a senior member and someone that knows what they are talking about when it comes to Turbos and DSMs i suggest you pay attention.

Is noticeable side to side play in the turbo a bad sign?
Sure proved your knowledge there.
