    Hi Aron,

    when the engine not runs the wheels can touch the housing. Under oil pressure (i.e. when the engine run) the ball bearing is in right fit. The bearing sit exactly in the middle. There is more clearance and is normally at all ball bearing turbos. The journal bearing turbos have not so much clearance.

    You can test the turbo. if the clearance of the wheels is under 1- max. 2mm the turbo is ok. Alternately you can check the housing. If you see anybody scratches in there the turbo failed.

    sorry for my bad english.
