Question turbo shaft play

Hey guys,
I have a chance to get a WH1C for pretty cheap finally and it has shaft end play. I have been lookin into turbo rebuild kits and they are like 80.00 but I dunno how much internal damage there is to the housing. Could endplay ruin the whole turbo? The turbo from the outside looks great.
Thanks,
Ben

Well this really bits the guy who had the turbo sold it out from under me WOW I can't believe this at all . Well when I saw the turbo it didn't look like it. IT looked normal (no defects) from the outside. Guess it doesn't matter not Thanks anyway Ben
