if the turbo seizes completely you usually can hear that happen. it's not a pretty sound. i do not think your turbo has stopped spinning altogether.

we still need more info. how are you controlling boost? do you have any CEL's? what kind of exhaust are you running? are you sure you've run your vac lines correctly?

how are you so sure you're turbo isn't spinning? are you monitoring with a boost gauge? what is it telling you?

ya I'm on a rev-hard kit myself. I'm curious how/why you think or guess it's not spinning.

Check the flux capictor to make sure it is getting full power.

Or maybe the hamsters are overheated.

I would check for boost leak / exhaust leak. But that would happen at all engine temps, not just when warmed up...

Have you driven it yet? Does it hit boost at all? Do you have your oil lines run ?
