Well I got the black paint off the turbo today. Everything seems good on it. There is no shaft excursion but there seems to be a little side to side play. The wheel spins VERY freely. Is some play normal? I believe that the turbo is claimed to have 8k on it.

Some side-side shaft play is normal. You have a journal bearing turbo which uses a layer of oil between the bearing and shaft so some shaft play is of course required. Even after a full rebuild there is a tiny tiny bit of shaft play.

mine's got it and it spins forever after the engine is shut off - you need some tolerance with a journal bearing
