So, as my car is being taken apart for an engine rebuild, I am told that the mechanics find some shaft play in the turbo.... the turbo is less then a year old, how can this be? Could the misfires have caused this? Looks like another headache, what am i looking for a shop to fix this?

 

see how sever it is. if its not much, its fine for a while. A rebuild should be about $300 or so

 

Turbos are supposed to have a Tiny bit of shaft play, it should be completely stiff. But like Cincy said if it is sever get it rebuilt

 

sever=severe I didnt get what you guys were saying at first.

 

They have a little bit of play right out of the box. I wouldnt worry to much about it. Especially with it being that new.

 

What would cause it to all of a sudden become loose?
