LLY: Turbo in trouble

[Mr. Jed]

I finally got around to putting my MP on my truck and I felt some play in my turbo shaft. Question is should I get a compound set up or just a bigger single? Reasons and advantages for both. I've read and read and read about them but cannot decide.

Side to side or in and out play? If its a little side to side its ok.

 

[Mr. Jed]

Its side to side about 1/8" from center. I didnt check in and out. Didnt know I should of dammit.

1/8 is quite a bit even if it is side to side. If its that much I would imagine it is hitting the housing. in an out is the bad one though

 

[Mr. Jed]

Well I have always wanted to upgrade. What to get what to get?

Take the mouth piece off and take off the oil line on the top of the turbo and squirt a little oil on there and turn the shaft a turn or 2 and then check for play.You should almost have none with oil in the bering. keep in mind the whole time your checking it the oil is running out of it.

Doesn't oil preasure take up some of the side to side play when the engine's running?

You'd hear it and youd see signs if it hit the housing.

I never heard my IHI hitting but i did notice it was very laggy at times

Was it really hitting?

It srarted carving out the compressor housing pretty good
