Default Compressor wheel hits housing

my 60-1 has a little bit of shaft play on it so you can see a tiny bit of grinding on the compressor housing from the turbine...i just want to use this turbo for about 3 months, is there anything i can do for the time being?

the turbine is on the hot side. how can the turbine be grinding the compressor housing? im confused.

but anyways... it sounds like your turbo is shot and you shouldnt use it.
