I just got a turbo for my '01 Saab 9-5 and it has a little shaft play side to side but zero shaft play in and out. Is it still good to use or no? Thanks. ---

If it was moving in and out as well id be a little more worried, but as long as u spin it and its spinnign freely and not slamming the walls id be fine, make suer theres not scrapes on the edge of the blades and turbine housing as well ---
