...on the side of the shaft easily closes up this gap and allows the compressor to contact the inside of the housing; both units are similar.
Is this normal tolerance/bearing slop? Thanks.

Journal-bearing turbos are freaky-loose...
I couldn't slide a piece of paper between the inducer and housing when I tried something similar on my OEK04. . They're balance allows them to spin nice and straight on a film of oil.
