I know it troubles me too, my past 3 BB turbos were never like this and they got beat to hell and never missed a beat. I agree on the journal bearings also and when in that condition they went pretty soon after but they were run at a much higher pressures and durations, not to mention age. The...

Yeah, tons of free play. In and out i'd estimate at 2-3mm, up and down about the same, I don't know how it hasn't taken a total s*** on me.

27k and change. I've never had a stock turbo with this much shaft play. Even with my old talon's 14b with over 130k and ragged everyday it was better than this. Are these turbos known to be failure prone.

Hi everybody, I just got my first MSP 2 days ago. Its a 03.5 Titanium with 27 thousand on the clock. Its stock except for a AEM cold air intake and some aftermarket front seats. I obviously still have factory warranty and I was wondering if anybody has a stock airbox they would be willing to...
