Re: Oil in Intake how much is normal?

Why would I need a new turbo unless you are trying to sell me one? A used turbo would most likely be in worse shape than the one I have that has been taken care of. Anything can be fixed it is just a matter of how much stuff that will have to be replaced. I already have the bearing kit. Worst case would be a new turbine and shaft.

When you rebuild the turbo, everything has to be balanced inside. It is more complicated than you think.

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.
