[Vwdiesel] Grenaded turbo follow up

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

The housing that I removed has NO marks at all not even a few  
scratches!  But is sure looks like it should.  When inside the  
housing, even in this condition, there was very little play in any  
direction of the axle. With the housing off, it is obvious that the  
shaft is now bent slightly.  Hayden
