Right iv done one of the rebuilds on one of the turbos is it right it will be stiff until thay bed in and oil goes though

Depends how stiff. Is it packed with assembly lube? Were all the components marked and reassembled exactly the same?

I can turn by hand but it's not as loos as it was before I didn't pack with lub on the bearings or shaft just gave them a smear should I take it apart and do then nos

Main thing is... Were the original parts marked/indexed? Or are you planning on having them balanced anyway?

Yes mate I marked the fins front and back and reused the old nut on the front as I marked that too with the blade

I was under the impression that unless you had them balanced you were wasting your time? One of mine was tighter than the other but they both rotated extremely smoothly. I also took a 5ml syringe and injected clean oil a few times into the turbo oil feed. I dunno if that was right or wrong but it just seemed like a half good idea before firing the engine up. Don't forget to crank the engine over to get some oil circulating before you fire it up for the first time.
