How does this look?
Just took off all my piping/couplers and this is what she looks like, haven't really inspected it since I bought the car. I tugged on it forwards and backwards as well as side to side to test for shaft play. It moved a smidge from side to side.
Thoughts? Everything has been running good from my knowledge, just wondering if I need to be worrying, it's definitely got some miles on it.

From what I've read axial play (in/out) if it just has a little bit, but you don't really want any radial (side/side) movement. That research was verified when I rebuilt my turbo recently, as pre-rebuild had both, post-rebuild only had a little axial. But if it's not showing any signs of needing a rebuild, I wouldn't bother.
