You can check the turbo blade rotation by carefully inserting a 12
point socket wrench into the turbo after spraying the bearing with Mouse
Milk or similar lubricant. I think the size wrench is 10mm but not
positive. That solved my problem. Gentle is the word and if all else
fails you can send the turbo to Lockwood.
