I think he is talking about the compressor wheel inside the turbo. I would say that it should spin a little at idle. It would have to be a prety big turbo not to spin AT ALL at idle. Your bearings may be dried out, or bad. I was working with a brand new turbo not to long ago and the compressor wheel did not spin freely, so i took it apart and oiled up the bearings and it is fine now. Keep in mind this was a brand new turbo that had been sitting around for a few months. The problem could be worse on your turbo, or there is just simply not enough exhaust flow at idle to spin the turbo.
