There really isn't any in/out play that I can detect at all.
Heck this is the first time I have ever taken a housing off of a turbo, so this is all pretty much Greek to me. If I had to order a replacement turbo to match what I already have, I wouldn't have a clue about what to even ask for.
BTW, I did watch some videos of some ball bearing turbos, and they seemed quite impressive with the relative ease that the shaft will turn and obvious reduction in friction. Wish they weren't so darn expensive compared to the journal bearing type. That and it seems that most that I looked at need a water cooling line run to them as well as the oil lines. I can't see running coolant lines all the way back to the those turbos. Got enough stuff running all over the place under that car as it is.
