Turbo spin

I am doing some wiring work to the truck and took the intake off. I went to spin the turbo and it was firm to spin. How hard should the shaft be to turn. I have under 10K miles on this thing. I am thinking its fried. It got hot once when my engine failed (1600* plus). I could not cool down, but that was 7000 miles ago and it was working fine. I am very strick on letting it cool to at least less than 400* preturbo. I run Amsoil. I don't ever get it to hot.
