I have a turbo I aquired a while ago. It's been sitting a while over a year and from a car that ran out of oil and died from rodnock. It has absolutely 100% no play... only problem is it doesnt spin freely. When I turn it with my hand its stiff. It does feel smooth when turning though, no friction...kinda like a knob on a stereo.
My other turbo is gonna die soon, its pushin its limits on shaft play.. so if theres any way I could fix this other one, I could swap em. How should/could I tackle this stiffness problem?

I havent seen any real threads particular to this, so maybe someone knows.
