I would change oil and filter pronto. My choice would be rotella 15 w 40 for that car, personally.
an eighth of an inch sounds excessive on the turbo and i doubt that you actually have that much. I think the blades would be hitting the housing with that much. A little play is normal since it runs on a film of oil in plain brass bushings. A very simple and reliable device, the turbos on those motors.
