The weird thing is, the guy told me there was zero shaft play when he sold it to me and he's sticking to that. He also says its not shipping that messed it up cuz he packaged it up correctly. Now when I get the turbo, there's magically stupid amounts of shaft play on a turbo w/ 5k miles on it and its blown?! I'm like WTF?

so would cheapturbos be a good place to send it to? its $250 w/ warranty?

I don't know anyone who has used them, but i know they will even inspect for free, how many places do that? And plus i've heard bad things about majestics and every other place wants $400....
