New stage 2 turbo's too much shaft play?

https://youtu.be/wMI-fAyaLa4

Is this oké!?

This is the rear turbo, front is much better

Sorry for the noise in the video.

Hard to tell -depends on the manufacturer clearances. You can get a lot of shaft play with no oil in there.

Thank you Chris. I have send them the video also, waiting for an answer, but I am also interested to hear others' opinions. The difference in both turbo's also bothers me. Maybe I am worried about nothing.

What! Did you watch the video? That is atrocious shaft play for ANY new turbo. I've had my share of turbos in front of me since the 90's (not as many as you) new and used and even my 120k mile oem turbos never came close to that kind of shaft play.

That turbo is going to last 500 miles.

That's terrible... They look like Pure Turbos. I would not install those on my car. Jesse will take care of you. They have excellent customer service, unlike some other vendors on the Forum.
