Yes, the bearings will keep the compressor's wheel spinning even with out exhaust pressure until friction overwhelms momentum.

It's normal with the ball bearing GT series turbos. Mine generally spins for 30+ seconds when shutting down the car.

Mine spins maybe 5 seconds.
I am still worried, maybe I should try to record the sound. Got a studio microphone that might be able to get a grip of the sound.

I love that sound! Although the open wastegate sounds like anus.
