Default Has my turbo gone bad??

Well I knew the car didn't feel the same as it did in January but in january i didn't have a downpipe on it. I popped my hood the other day and look at the turbo and it wasn't moving. Back in Jan., when at idol my turbo would still spin.
Now after i got everything together and back on with some type of downpipe (til i get to the exhaust shop) it only spin when i give it gas.
This can't be right?...can it?
the car feel like it bogs too.
I need a basket for the manifold too but it wont be here til next week. Could this be the problem too.

get the gasket and then check again. the turbo doesnt have to spin when you're not on the gas, but most do.

ok
the more and more i think about it, themore it makes sense
if the exhaust has a nother way to escape besides ging throught the manifold then all the pressure and heat isn't being put on the turbine to spin it
the gaskets wont be in til like next wednes says honda parts counter

fix or put in your gaskets and make sure from the block to the exhaust compressor is essentially TIGHT!

Do this before going out and buying a new turbo
