How do you get rid of shaft play?

Take it to a professional that knows how to repair and rebuild turbochargers. If the wheel isn't rubbing the housing, you should be fine.

That's normal. I had a turbo checked out by a turbo shop one time and I'm not sure what they did to it, but after about 20 miles of driving, the wheel hit the housing after I got it back from them. I was pissed. They blamed something else, go figure.

Some turbos will have more shaft play than others. T3 and larger Garretts will usually have some; T25 shouldn't have much at all. Misubishi turbos shouldn't have much, if any, either.

If it's not consuming much oil, then live with it. Otherwise, although it is possible to DIY, it's even easier to screw it up ... and extracting broken parts out of a turbo housing isn't fun.
