Depends how much mate a couple of mm is fine, if it feels like a lot then you might want to get it checked out.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] turbo question
does it rub on the housing? side to side play is normally bad news, in and out play is less of a problem IIRC.

in and out is bad, every second hand ct20b, ct26 and hybrid turbo that i have felt have had varying amounts of side to side play, and thats quit a lot of turbos, guess its quite normal to have a little because it tightens up with oil pressure
must be a small amount though, if your not sure then get someones opinion who is
