Im looking to get a stock replacement for my truck this weekend to run with trends epr twin kit and was wondering how much play should be in the turbo shaft when I go look at some of these!

its kind of a common sense thing. if its moving alot then dont buy it. but a little side to side and less in and out is good

A little radial play is ok (it shouldn't be so much that it touches the compressor housing, but you shouldn't really feel any end play.

Radial is up and down as you are looking at the inlet of the compressor housing, and end play is toward/away from you
