    Exact tolerances? What are you on about? If there were exact tolerances when the turbo glows red hot it would seize up if it had exact tolerances.
    Dan is right, if anything BB Turbos have more play, as the oil fills the gaps between the balls allowing it to lubricate and cool it.

    What are you on about more like!!

    More play on a BB than a standard turbo

    From what you're saying its more than obvious you've never come into contact with a good condition BB turbo, let alone posessing one on your car

    Have you? I've had a brand new GT28R, and IIRC Dan's had a brand new GT25R and GT28R.

    Wow!
    Have a look on the Garrett website...

    How much shaft play should my dual ball bearing turbo have?
    The Garrett full ball-bearing turbo is designed to have clearance between the bearing cartridge and center housing for hydrodynamic damping in addition to the internal clearances of the bearing cartridge itself. Hydrodynamic damping uses the incompressible properties of a liquid (oil in this case) and the space around the bearing cartridge to dampen the shaft motion of the rotating assembly. When the turbo is new, or has not operated for a long period of time allowing most of the oil to drain out, the rotating assembly will move more in the radial direction than a typical journal-bearing turbo because there is no oil in the center housing. This condition is normal. As long as the shaft wheel spins freely and the wheels don't contact their respective housings, the assembly will function properly.


    Yes, i have a GT25R






    What turbo do you have?
