Lack of oil supply to the turbo (oil screen issue?) can cause a center section to seize which will twist the turbine off and spit it out the downpipe. With a little luck, there will be no debris cycling through the oil system to destroy bearings. I'd get oil analysis done on the oil that's in there and if it comes back clean, just replace the turbo with another VF39 (or VF43).
