1984 300D

I pulled the air intake off the turbo and discovered that I can grab the end of the turbo shaft and wiggle it. The car is down on power, but I believe that the turbo still does function to some limited degree.

What of the ramifications of the wiggle room? Turbo rebuild, possibility of metaly bits getting fired into the engine?

You can move it probably 1/16 of an inch in all directions I would say.
