Default is my wheel okay?

me and my friend were comparing turbos last night. i got a sc34 and he has the gt28. i understand that his is dual ball bearing and when he spins the wheel it spins and spins and spins. with my sc34 i was comparing it to another turbo with the same 360 thrust bearing (fp red i believe) and his wheel would spin about 2 or so seconds with one good twirl. mine on the other hand with one good twirl will sping for about a second and come to a halt. is this normal for precision turbos. i know i was pretty much comparing apples and oranges but i just wasn't sure if this was something i should look into further. my turbo is brand new and has been sitting with me for over a month while i get the rest of my stuff together so no wear and tear at all. thanks to anyone who can help.

it probably does that because u keep spinning it with no oil in it. u should'nt do that. if u do it too much u could mess up the bearings and stuff. if u have spinning it for no reason a lot that might be why its doing that.
