Shaft play with video

[beihl304]

How bad does this shaft play look? I think it's from the turbo overspinning from a large boost leak. I found the leak right by the c clamp gap on compressor housing. I am asking if this is still usable for now or should I get it rebuilt right asap. It's a hx35 thanks

Really? Works for me every time. I'm on my phone so it is twice as hard to do anything on here. Can someone else let me know if the video worked for them?

If you can't link the right video just give us your Youtube username or the actual title of the video which can be entered in the Youtube search bar.

If you ask me, it's borderline. I would rebuild it soon if it were mine; from there the shaft play is only going to get worse, and the turbine seal may already be leaking. If you want to bolt it on and see what happens, that's your game....I don't see it crashing and burning right away or anything like that.

Yea that's what I was thinking. I was going to send it to you this weekend but now I don't have a back up car cause the tranny just went in it haha. So I was mainly asking if I could get by a few weeks with it like it is. Now I know my answer thanks.
