Can you move the wheel freely with your hand?? It should move at idle.

No, the shaft is attached to the exhaust blades which turn no matter what is going on at the compressor side. It wont make any boost and will be hesitant to rev up because of the extra load on the engine and no power being added, it'll essentially be like running it w/ a really small exhaust, lots of restriction! Good luck!

It may not spin at idle though. That is really not an indication of anything you need to care about. But if you rev the motor a little the compressor wheel should spin. if not the turbo may be junk. So you have installed everything but the charge pipes? what parts did you put on what engine?
