A ? to PTE turbo owners

I received my baby a few days ago but here is the ordeal..

When I try to rotate a wheel it has a distinct spot where it takes noticeably more force to pass through it. Did you notice something like that on yours? Everybody played with it bofore install I presume
The amount of force needed to rotate it through that spot varies with the position of the assembly. When it is in "mormal" (the same as it would be on a car) it seems the easiest to rotate but if I put it vertical (on either inlet or turbine outlet) that spot becomes more distinct.
I squirted some oil into the feed hole and it seems it became better but I can still feel the spot. Should I return it? I 've been waiting for it for a while and reluctant to do so. Thanks.

The turbine wheel is off centered I believe, try to visually inspect the exhaust wheel through the outlet. Loosen the turbine housing bolts and center it and retighten the bolts.

I 'll try that. The shop that I ordered it at clocked the compressor housing to be situated the way I need. That may be the reason why it's off if it is. At least that gives hope that the problem is not in the center section which would be more involved.
