I may be too late, but you should check the turbo bearings before install, since you said it was hard to spin. Just hope none of the bearings are shot.
It is turning ok now, not as freely as I would like. However, I was trying to turn it while I was cranking to get oil around it and when I get oil pressure built up the turbo stops turning. When the pressure goes away it will turn again. No idea what's up with that. Also no idea how to check the bearings on the turbo. There isn't any play in it so I don't think it's getting pushed over into the housing.
