Hi guys, I bought a turbo recently for my KA-T build. It was advertised as a stock t-25 but I don't think it is. It says Garret m-24 on the side and ar. 80 Anyone know what turbo this is? Here is a pic:

Also, I was wondering if the turbo is bad because when I try to spin the compressor, it won't spin easily. I have to try hard to spin it. I don't know much about turbo's. Does this mean the turbo is dead, or will it spin fine when hooked up to the oil lines and installed on the car, or should it spin easier in one direction than the other?, any help would be appreciated. I was always under the impression that you should be able to easily spin the turbo with your hand.
Thanks Alex.
