Touching the blade on your turbocharger.
I accidently touched the turbine fan when I was holding it and it spun the fan a little. I was told to avoid direct contact with the fan. How fragile is the fan? Am I okay? IS MY TURBO BROKEN!? 
I want to know how to handle my turbo, what I should, and should not do when handling it. I don't want to accidently break something.

how else are you supposed to check for shaft play? wiggling the turbo to see if it moves... but not in the circular motion cuz of course thats normal

OH MY GOD YOU KILLED IT send it to Majestic for a rebuild, STAT! Begin CPR immediately!
You're not gonna hurt that thing with your hands - once it's in your car it's going to get pummeled 16,000 times a minute by a wall of 1600F expanding exhaust gases. They're pretty sturdy.
