If you can make it hit the sides, I would look further into a problem
Sometimes its hard to reach FI, but I would try

First s480 we bought was like that. We were able to make the wheel touch. Must have been good with oil pressure. That turbo was like that brand new and never gave us a problem

If you can make it touch the cover or housing with minimal effort (finger strength, not using your whole arm strength) It probably could use a rebuild. With no oil pressure though, any borg turbo can be made to touch down with enough force.
