big turbo question (shaft play)

[neal90awd]

i have seen 3 larger turbonetic turbos 1 was a 50 trim, the other 2 were 60 trim. all 3 were new and never used, thay all had a small amount of play up-down and none in and out, is this normal with the bigger turbos. one of the 60 trims i will be getting for a very cheap price and it now has maby 5000 miles on it and it feels the same as the day i saw it new. is this normal

All my turbonetics turbos have been like that. Im not saying it is good or bad but my pte wasnt like that new or even now with 3k miles on it. I also had failure with my turbonetics turbos within 10-12k miles. I personally will never own a turbonetics turbo again.

By the way, where at in Richmond are you? I live on midlothian tnpk about 1/4 mile outside of powhatan.

Thats cool but let me tell you from experience, that 60-1 is going to feel like a slow spooling 13g at those boost levels. I wont run mine less than 20psi now because below that, its just a turd on wheels. I only say this because I had a bc problem at first and only saw 14psi and it was way slower than what my 16g was. BC was fixed, 19 psi and it was almost as strong as the 16g was. Once I got to 22 psi, the 60-1 started to show its true colors. Now, 24psi on pump is the norm for me.

Turbo's tend to have some shaft play when not full of Oil.
