normally a non ball bearing turbo, when spun by hand will spin for maybe 1-2 seconds. a BB turbo will spin for longer. Might just be one of those things where experience comes into play.

Remember - if you spin your shaft more than twice, you're playin' with it.

you cant see the ball bearings, and if you do see them theres no way your getting them back in the turbo.
