Yes. Some radial play (perp. to axis) is OK. I have 2 other new turbos, the HX 40 and a Garrett that's stock replacement for my truck. Both have a teeny amount of radial play that's perceptible through wiggling by the fingers.
I also have a damaged cartridge from the truck that has about 1/8" of axial play. The impeller was impacting the compressor housing and oil was leaking from the exhaust side as a result.
