how much play in the shaft is too much play? when your talking about shaft play, is it pushing the shaft in and out or side to side?

You can have shaft play in both (in & out) and also (up & down).

Is this a stock Evo turbo you're talking about?

A slight bit of play is normal depending on miles and abuse...........if there is enough play where the comp blades can contact the housing the obviously that's too much.

From my experience you tend to see up/down play more so than in/out.

Is the car having issues with boost?

it is a stock turbo and i dont abuse much(every once in a while ill max boost). the comp. is not rubbing on the housing so that is a good sign, basically i was a little worry when i checked it. the car is boosting fine as well.......thanks for the info.
