Hi there,
You may have blown a turbo seal, if this is the case you will have to get this done by a turbo specialist as this is a very precise operation and if the turbo balance is incorrect you will destroy it.

ok well were i live there is no one that will touch this turbo closes person is sacromento is it safe to drive the car like this or should i get a good one from a junkyard for now?
Driving will be a problem as the oil consumption will be great, getting one from a wreckers can be a problem as you don't know the history and you don't want to send good $$ on a possible problem, first thing to do is get a local mechanic to confirm this diagnosis, if it is the turbo seal, you should be able to get it repaired with a few days turn around if you have to ship it out of town, check this option first.
