I have pulled the turbo for my old car that has been ported and larger actuator. I have tested both turbo's and they both have a small amount of movement in and out. Is that normal? I want to get the turbo reconditioned how much am I looking to and where in Melbourne is a reasonable price and reliable? Also how do I know if the actuator is a 12psi as the writing is gone?

I was told that a tiny bit of movement along the shaft can be normal wear and tee depending on k's but not too worrying. However any lateral movement is instantly a cause for concern. Can anyone confirm if this is correct.

Eg my old 200sx s14 with an sr20det had its original turbo and 130000+km and it had more movement than yours and I was told that was acceptable. However that was a journal bearing turbo though.
