Turbo issues

[lee01]

taken my turbo off as gasket from exhaust manifold had gone, but now noticed it has a bit of play in the saft, can any body recomend getting another turbo or having mine reconditioned?

How much is a bit? Some turbos have a bit of play in

[lee01]

the blades touch the outer casing so a bit to much im guessing

Will probably be cheaper to get it reconned since its not too far gone. New one will cost a bit. Are cheap ones on eBay but have seen a few mixed reviews on them here.

If the turbine blades have scored the housing the unit is scrap.
