Finally after a year i final have a motor back in my car. I just picked it up monday from the machine shop and installed all my parts pver the past few days. I got almost everything new under the hood with a few exceptions. One of the pieces that i bought new is an SBR Bastard20g. So i prime everything with the help of my very experienced friend and fire up the car. I let the car run for about 10 mins and shut it down because it was 1 in the morning. After everything cooled down i took off the intake pipe and gave it back to my friend who let me borrow it so i could start the car, was having a few minor none related issues. Then one of my other friends sticks his hand in the compressor housing and tries to spin the compressor wheel. This thing is stiff as sh*t. I mean you have to put in a decent effort with your finger to turn the wheel. So my question is could it be that is causing the problem? And i checked the oil all ready for metal shavings and didn't see any.
