Your retarded.
Dont think youve screwed anything though.

Turbos wherent designed to spin with a little oil.

what does barely spin mean, oil shouldnt prevent it from spinning... My turbo burns plenty of oil :6

did you do the sand paper to the journal bearings trick and oiled them afterwards before assymbly?

I think what you're saying is that with the air compressor it used to spin but now barely spins. I suspect your rebuild kit has tightened the clearances and it's a little tighter now.

when my turbo was brand new when i spun it with my fingers it would only make about 1.5 360* turns. unless it feels locked up i wouldnt worry to much.
