this turbo looks like it has 10,000 miles on it but has a little side play on the shaft ,,is this normal??
is a turbo suppose to have some sideplay to it? it spins freely it this worth installing in my car 99 a41.8t

 

i dont think its supposed to move at all..i might be wrong

 

afaik the ball bearing turbos have no sideplay, but if it is an oil floating turbo, it should have a little side play. I just remember something about this with T-26b's on the mr2... I may be wrong though...

 

what does an audi 1.8 t ko3 turbo have ball bearing or oil ?

 

what kind of turbo is it ? what size ? how much did u pay ?

 

its an k03 turbo from an 1.8t turbo engine i paid 300 dollars used ,but i mean this turbo looks like it only has 10000 miles on it ,no dirt on it what so ever

 

ouch $300 for a used K03 i've seen those things go on here for like $20

 

ouch, and no KO3 should not be moving.

 

i will buy a turbo if anyone has one ,please help already bought 2 spent 400 dollars total 314-707-1895

 

$400 wow for a extra $300 you could have upgraded to a K04 that is what I would do now instead of keep buying used turbos buying a used turbo is like buying used underwear you never know if you are going to get a sh!ty one or a clean one
