Default turbo shaft play question?

borg warner turbo has some slight in and out shaft play.i know that its obv. not good but i guess my question is do u guys think that i will be alright for now to run it and get it up and going and thrown on the dyno and get it rebuilt when i have down time with it? reason im asking also is im suppose to bring it to the tuner this weekend and was going over things and came across this. thanks

If it's not hitting the housing, then you should be ok.

He said its in and out, my large frame
76mm had slight in and out and trashed the housing and compressor. I could hardly see it if at all but could feel it when I pushed and pulled on it.
