[Supras] Blown turbo.

[Jeff Mohler]

If the inside of the housing has been damaged, you need a new
housing..or turbolence in the housing will be bad for flow and
possible lead to future turbo failure.  Best case..far from optimal.

IC comes out pretty easy, once out, get a buddy to help you put a pint
of gas or so in it..slosh it around, drain..repeat till clear.  Let it
air out..reinstall.
