if the compressor wheel touches the housing, i would PM Mac (theshodan) and see what he recommends....personally i wouldn't drive the car. That sucks dude. Post pics...what happened??

if either the compressor or turbine rubs, dont drive it. You'll be able to at least salvage part of the turbo if you dont drive it.....
