And note that one side feeds INTO the engine. Thanks for pointing that out C2.
All it takes is 2nd rate workmanship, bad bearings, or oil coking or starvation, and the resulting bearing wear will create enough shaft play that the turbine and compressor wheel can (and probably will) both hit the insides of the housings. Bad ju-ju.
Wait, what am I talking about.....I have an ebay turbo....LOL.
It's been replaced once, for that very reason. So don't chance it, do it right.
