A complete overhaul of the turbo compressor would do the trick. Anything less is not advisable. Because it froze one of your bearings has probably broken. A turbo changer rotating at 100k+ rpm has to be perfectly balanced, otherwise it will turn itself to shreds. If one of these shreds ends up in your engine, you can pretty sure throw that away as well. Sorry, but there is no cheap way out here. Mark
