HX 35 Problems

I recently installed an HX35 turbo on my 89. The truck is parked all winter as I only use it to pull my RV 5er. I have now taken it out for a test drive and am finding the intake horn is turning from the point where I indexed it. There is no apparent pressure on it. I have new motor mounts and transmission mounts. Rad hoses, exhaust pipe and pipe from intercooler to intake are giving no problem. Therefore I have no reason to suspect I have too much engine rock or movement. My old H1C never moved, however they were held with a V band clamp. I called the vendor and he suggested the snap-ring that holds the housing together is not fully seated from when I indexed it. I have checked it with a long punch as best I can on the truck and it appears to be fully seated. Today, I will remove it and get a better look. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if so what else can I look for? If I cannot see anything I will call the vendor again and see about exchanging it and try again. Other than that it works beautifully and spins up 35 on the boost gauge in a heartbeat. Thanks, John.
