So I just got my new turbo yesterday, but I'm a little surprised in the amount of shaft side to side play in it. Should I be concerned?

I'd share a video of it but I don't thinks it will let me

all new chargers will have side to side and very little in and out play. After some oil is ran through it it will tighten up a little bit. With the shaft thrusted to either side if the comp wheel does not hit the housing it will be just fine. The in and out play is really what your going to want to watch.

Remember before you put the oil feed line on add some oil into the trubo.

So far it's great! It's a little laggy at bottom end but my afc needs re-adjusted so it could because of that

Yea the smoke screw needs backed out a good bit, I'm in the process of getting a pressure/vacuum tester so once I get that I'm going to set the afc to full fuel at 15psi. I'm not even sure where the star wheel was set at when the pump was benched.
