check for shaft play with the turbo, if there is any you are gonna need to rebuild that turbo or replace it, id recommend replacing, there are some cases where a blown turbo scratched up the housing so much that its unusable

good luck OP

Or, even worse, the fins break off and are blown into the motor. I wouldn't drive it another foot until you get it under control.

Agreed. At least with the turbo so far from the intakes, the chances of debris getting back to the motor are lessened.
