ur-q using oil - turbo ??

[George Harrison <georgeh@iol.ie>]

As a follow on to my recent post about my ur-q laying down smoke screens
every time I suddenly back off the gas during hard acceleration......

I pulled off the hose from turbo to intercooler and the hose from air
intake to turbo.  

Air-intake to turbo fairly clean ....very light traces of tacky goo.
Turbo to intercooler....fairly wet with engine oil, enough to cause two
drops to fall out.
I flushed the intercooler with petrol....there was maybe an eggcup full
of oil in there.
The turbo.....what kind of free play should there be?  I grabbed the
shaft by the little nut on the end and tried to push in and out.  Minute
amount of movement.  Tried to move from side to side...maybe 1mm
movement. I can feel a definite rocking and can also hear the gentle
knocking sound as I move it.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
