Default is my turbo dead ?

so my stock turbo smoked for the first time a few months ago since then its only done it twice and the last time was 3 weeks ago. my question is would that hurt my hp and tq? the reason i ask is because the other night i raced my friends ms3
from a 40mph roll and my mods are sri,fmic,catless dp,pg man, open exhaust, hks bov,cobb AP stg2 fmic map and my friend has sri,catted dp, turbosmart bov. he had me by a car and half most of the time or we would be dead even.

any help would be awesome
