Default bad turbo noise

I have a turbo that when i spin the compressor wheel It goses squeak squeak squeak like it is lacking lube is the turbo still good?

more info: it's a t3/4e garrett turbo I ran it on my stock 99Ls motor with stock exhaust for 10xxx miles. I took the turbo off because my car would blow black smoke only under boost, I figured that my head gasket or rings where going bad turns out they where. the turbo has bin sitting for 6months and when i took it of the car i just put rags in all the holes and put it in a box.

yeah probably lack of oiling, or freeplay in the shaft causing the wheel to rub on the housing.
