Default Worried about brand new turbo/ oil and play questions

so after 1 weeks amount of use, about 350miles i goto inspect the turbo and various pipes

when i check out the turbo (oh yeah apexi bb) when i grab the compressor wheel and move it around, theres some play up and down, i here this is normal so long as theres lil or no play in the side to side direction, is this true?

as for oil, would this turbo been long gone if it wasnt getting lil or no oil, the thing is when i spin the compressor wheel by hand it spins freey but u can hear the bearings makin the usual shhhhh noise, i figured if there was oil being pumped in , it would be so smooth that ud hear no noises, what do u guys think

oh anyone know of a good dyno place in nj, preferabbly northern

please calm my concerns

thanks,

chris
