Questionable Turbo Whine After Rebuild

Hi there,

 

I have a question about a turbo rebuild, of which I cannot find a direct answer.  I recently rebuilt a 16t using the Mitsubishi kit and replaced most of the components except four pieces as I was not getting it balanced.  Made sure everything was properly rebuild and the wheels spun freely before installing in my car.  During the install, I did let about 1 oz of oil drip into the oil feed bonjo bolt.  Then I proceeded to start the car without pulling the fuel pump relay or ignition wire.  Two questions:

 

 - What is the proper break in procedure? How long should i drive before pulling WOT? Currently running a 15 psi tune.

 - I think i hear a slight whine, but nothing loud at all.  Can i just get another rebuild kit or is there damage to the shaft?  There are no bent fins and the wheel spins freely from the housings.  I tried taking a video but you cannot hear a whine since you just hear the normal boost whistle.  If I did mess up on the prime, how long do I have?

 

Thanks

 

Also note to mods, not sure where to post this thread so it is under performance since I wouldn't consider turbo rebuilds "normal" maintenance.  Please move to where you feel it belongs.
