Was going to finally get down to doing my stupid o-ring job but ran into an issue (forgot the o-ring a home) so decided to check out other things that have been making me nervous. So I pulled out the CAI and my hot pipe to check the compressor housing and found oil on both sides of the housing (inlet and outlet). At this point i'm thinking that there is really somthing not right here.
I decided to check the compressor itself for shaft play and I could wiggle it about 1mm from side to side.
So now i'm pretty much freaking out that my turbo is about to bite the dust.
now is where you guys come in, should I be really worried about the oil in th comp. housing or might this be a problem with the return line as I need to get the o-ring done? also is the 1mm worth of shaft play enough to need immidiate attention? or will it surrvive for a little while as I build up funds for a replacement T25 ( or GT28RS if i'm lucky).
