So I just got this turbo in the mail today and it looks like its probably an old school fp green. There are only 10 blades on the turbine wheel instead of 12 like the evo 9 turbo has. It also has a small fp logo shown in one of the pictures. The only problem is it seems to have some in and out shaft play. I'm wondering if this will go away once the turbo has oil in it. Almost no side to side or up and down shaft play though. Here are some pictures and a video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2T...ature=youtu.be

How bad is the in and out shaft play? All journal bearing turbos will have a little play on them when there is no oil in then. So if its slight shaft play you should be fine.
