Its probably fvked. Take off the compressor housing and check for damage.

Check for side to side play. If your bearings are shot or you're getting a lack of oil, the compressor wheel could be making contact with the housing.

check to make sure the turbo is not falling off the exhaust manifold

Alot of ppl never put the locking tabs back on the exhaust housing
