yea there will be a little bit of play, the play goes away when the oil is pressurized, the shaft rides on a film of oil. If there is alot of play, thats a different story.

should there be any play in the turbo shaft when it's good?

There are no seals in the turbo like you thinking.  They dont dry up and
leak from sitting.  What happens is you suck something in and the fins
get damaged, and cause the shaft to then be imbalanced, which wears
things out.

seals start to go bad after they haven't been used for a while.

I have plenty of good used ones.  Not sure what recent service has to do
with anything though.

hell no.   The problem is the turbo.  Do you have a used one that's been

in recent service?
