A common cause of a turbo having excessive end-play is hot shut-down. This results from the oil supply to the turbo being shut off while the turbo is still spinning at a high rate of speed. Turbos sometime operate with shaft speeds of over 100,000 rpm. If an engine is shut down while the turbo is still spinning at a high rate of speed, the insides of the turbo will cook the little oil remaining and continue to destroy itself from a lack of lubrication. To prevent this damage be sure and allow a cool down period before shutting the engine off.
