Default how fast should a turbo stop when u spin it!

i have never seen or felt a real turbo so i dont really know whats right and whats wrong.

when u spin it with your fingers should it spin like a top for a while. or slow down and stop.

what causes the turbo to be "hard spinning"

Hard spiinning. worn or bent shaft fins hitting sides. Gunk in the center section.

I dont think they spin for a while tho maybe the ball bearing turbos. But Im pretty sure you are not supposed to spin rebuilt or new turbos only ones that have oil in them...

I don't know, but if it's anything like mine, it just spins for a sec or so after you let go. Nothing amazing, it just doesn't feel stuck. I'm as new as you. ---- it, just bolt that ---- on, it'll tell all. That's what ima do! : )

it's the easiest way to learn.
