I'd beg to differ that it's a duff turbo.
The oil oil that would of been sat in the turbo from when the last car would of mainly drained away. I think you should make sure there's nice fresh oil in the turbo, and turn it by hand and see if it free's up after a while. They usually become stiff when they've sat.
When you fit a turbo you're also supposed to crank the engine over for two 30 second blasts to prime up the oil lines and get oil flowing through the turbo before first use.
