I just got a supposedly slighty used gt2871r off ebay. I've heard ball bearing turbos are supposed to have almost zero shaft play. Mine has play both back and forth and up and down. I even put some oil in it to see if it would eliminate the play, but it still was about the same. It doesn't hit the housings or anything, but I'm kind of worried about how long its gonna last. Should I take my chances with it or try to send it back to the guy?
