quick turbo end play ?

The turbo on my 94 I just bought has no detectable side to side put quite a bit of front to back movement. It doesn't look like it could possibly come close to rubbing anything. I looked up the specs and saw that end play was bad. My question is why is end play bad and should I just keep running it till it wears out? It is also very quiet even with the silencer ring gone. This is the top truck in the sig. It has a k and n drop in and i noticed some black gunk caked to the front opening and turbine, probably cooked on oil from the k and n. what do you think?
