Well Trying to figure out why i seem to have absolutely NO boost.
I called Majestic turbo, and He said, crank the car and if the turbo is ok is should spin.

Well It didnt, even with the throttle WOT. Not one rotation. ( I filmed it)
when i spin the compressor it spins fine, spins for about 2-3 sec with a flick of the finger.

I dont hear any exhaust leaks, the WG is fine,(line not even connected)
Car is still on vacuum (10in" +/-) even at 4k rpm
I wouldnt think that a vacuum leak would give zero boost.

SO could it be that the turbine is shot some how?

arhhhh

So the compressor spins freely with finger pressure, but doesn't alone with the engien runing?

Eiher you got a serious crack in the headers/x-over pipe not allowing any exhaust (or very little) to get into the turbo, or the shaft is broken.......

Exhaust leaks are best done with the car cold and quickly spraying soapy water on the flanges/connections/pipes.....

theres no exahsut leak, or atleast nothing that big, I tired pulling on the shaft and it didnt move,
so im thinking maybe something ate up the blades or teh shaft is broken or something.

BUt does that sound right? Should the turbo spin even a tiny bit while cranking?

Your turbine propeller from the exhaust side is somewhere in your tailpipe instead of in the turbine...
???

im afraid of that

I agree... If you can spin the compressor side freely with little side to side play (any back and forth play?), but it doesn't spin when the engine is running, then the shaft is broken...

think powerhaus, will warranty it?

Did you get it from them? Best bet is to probably give PH a call and find out...
