Re: Shaft Play.....?

I wasn't saying that it will burn up quickly, but it won't last as long as a water cooled one. Most of the PTE's aren't water cooled and they last pretty good. As a rule of thumb I bet you cut the turbo life in 1/2 with a dry center section. Granted you could still be looking at 40k+ miles. If you plan on keeping this turbo for a very long time, it is something to consider. If you will get rid of it soon or upgrade in a few years, then it is a viable option.

Diesels are a whole 'nother ball of wax. They run cooler and spin larger wheels at slower speeds with larger shafts.
