I just finished putting together a turbo I have attempted to rebuild.. with frustrating results so far.

It is back together, and on the car, so I took it down the road, to warm up the engine coolant, as I changed the thermostat also.. the turbo makes a rather loud whine, which shows up at about 2000RPM. Also there does not seem to be much boost, as the car has no power, and really does not want to climb above 2200RPM. in the 3 miles I drove the car it did get to 3000 with out any noticable change (good or bad) in terms of noise, or any indication of a fuel enrichment taking place.

Any suggestions? the Impeller seems to spin just fine, But It worked better when the bearings were making noise.
