A little side to side is ok as long as it isn't hitting the housing... You don't want any in and out movement.

that's what i thought. i'll have a turbo shop look at it. any one know where a turbo shop is in the denver/ golden CO area? other that ATS.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

also, i just cput a boost gauge in today. it's a cheapy sunpro but it works. WOT @ 3000RPM it hits 20 psi. is that about where it should be for just intake, exhaust, and programmer?
