Some compressors are held on with a reverse thread nut. Do you know about turbo balancing and aligning the shaft with the wheels?

I got my PTE turbo on Dec 2004,Before installation I inspect the unit and try to turn the shaft but it feel too tight, Is it normal? WTF

I send my turbo for service a few days ago after my engine blow last week. Now I found out something different between PTE and Garrett turbo.
1.The PTE 360 thrust bearing is different from a normal Garret turbo repair kit.
2.The Garret 360 thrust bearing got a three nut to lock it to the center cartridge but there isn’t any on PTE. The PTE 360 thrust bearing got jammed to the turbine wheel shaft.
3.The washer that locks the shaft to the center cartridge also too tight and got jammed to the shaft.


any comment.

I'd try Forced Performance. I hear they make a pretty decent turbo.
