today i was looking over my turbo and i noticed that when i spun it with my fingers it has a stiff spot what is this it aint normal. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated

 

Looks like you're gonna get a turbo upgrade...looking at your signature, it'll probably run lots better & cooler too.

 

I can hardly figure a rough spot turning(????). Does it have end play or hit the housing with side force? Is there score marks on housing? Is it oily, smoke or use oil in excess?
It spins on a double sided bushings.

 

Correct - it has full-floating bearings - but the hard spot could be scored shaft, soot build-up in the turbine housing, ect - crank it up, bring engine up to operating temps, shut it down, then check for shaft spin

 

When warm mine spins pretty freely. When cold I was installing the heat shield for my BHAF I wiped out the outlet before reinstalling the air tube and it felt pretty sluggish and had a little spot where it felt like it hung up, but not rough or sticky.

 

yeah i think its fine =]
