Would an off balance turbo cause this?

I just recently bought a "rebuilt" CT-26 from a guy on the forum.

New compressor wheel, and I beleive new shaft etc...

I put it on (pretty straight forward) and it boosts fine. However for some reason it makes a weird noise at times (kind of like what a tire sounds like rubbing on the inside of the wheel well) but I am 100% POSITIVE its not my wheel.

Could this be a bad rebuild possibly and one of the wheels in the turbo is grinding up against the housing? Or off balance?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

did you prime it when you put it on? check it for play now. also check the bolts on your dp.

Yep, give us a detailed picture of how you primed it. Check for play

put a bit of oil in manually.
pulled the efi fuse and cranked it over until oil pressure was built up.
i then let it idle for about 5 minutes.. went inside and got cleaned up.. then took it for a 10 minute drive and it is almost as though my car has a deeper tone to it.. and exhaust feels more rough..
as well as the weird sounds i would randomly hear which i do beleive is from the turbo!

was going to check for shaft play but it is now way too dark and cold tonight.
