Default hybrid turbo failure Part II.>>>>>>>>
Took the turbos out on saturday and the drivers side turbo is friggin shot, there was enough oil in the downpipe to start a refinery!!!!

anyways there is a ton of play in the shaft and I could see where it was hitting on the compressor housing, both turbos were fine when going in and the one decided that it blew something out inside, what causes huge shaft play???

any feedback appreciated!
