Turbo random check

Hello everyone,

Yesterday when I was replacing intake pipe I decided check clearance on the shaft and I was really shocked.
Please let me know you opinion if is it normal, from my point of view I´m a little bit disapointed.

Cupra 300, model 2018 odometer 72xxx km.


I haven´t had any problem with oil consumption or any bad noises when engine is cold / hot.

But I´m not turbo expert so therefore I´m asking you.

Thank you guys !

Forward and back play is pretty normal. Side to side play is bad.

Oil under pressure will take up the bearing clearance. I'd be more worried if it didn't wiggle.
