My guess is that the turbo has stuck, so remove it and look into the compressor end and see if there are any broken blades or chips off the blades. If not, you're probably okay. If it is stuck, it may be hard to see all of the blades, especially on the compressor exit end...but they are pretty strong there so would not think any would break there. However...I think (but not completely sure) you can fairly easily remove the compressor housing to get a good look at the compressor wheel, so that may be the thing to do. You may not want to do much turbo disassembly...I think there is a pretty hefty core charge for a new/rebuilt turbo. Pre-lube the new turbo, make sure the oil line to it is not plugged, and change oil & filter in case some "grit" got into the oil pan.
