[s-cars] Turbo question Was: Clamps for Samco hoses

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Got clamps from NAPA. They had them only in one store - came out for ~$30 
for everything. (I did not buy small ones - had good ones in my garage 
already)

Samcos are on. I also checked coils using spark tester. They are all about 
the same. If there is a difference between coils - very small.
Car seem to be running fine. Ready for 3 bar chip :)

Using Fred Munro write-up on hoses install - I decided to "check turbo 
impeller while I'm there" Everything seem to be tight. No play in a shaft. 
But if you press on a shaft sidewaus - you can move it. It feels like it's 
on a spring. You can move it sideways and than it comes back. Is that the 
way it shoould be or it is a play and turbo will be going bad? I also 
noticed oil on a turbo around air intake port.
