Is my turbo on the way out?

Hi guys, i just go my v5 sti back together and running. Its making a bit of a whining noise. Id liken it to what your average older mitsi sounds like, but it continues for a few moments after turn off. Also, before anyone says anything, before starting the motor, i first turned it over without the plugs in to build oil pressure, then started it up, so it shouldn't have been dry of oil on startup.

Is my turbo screwed, or still salvageable? Im also thinking of removing the mesh from the oil feed, if it does have some.

Cheers, jULIUS

yeah thats a ball bearing turbo - pretty normal - i ran a VF23 and you could hear it on idle if you could pick it out over the loud exhaust - and very very noticable when u turn key off - if you search theres a heap of threads on this - think i started one ages ago about it too ill have a search

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
