It looks like the can was pried off by someone who didn't know how to adjust the boost pressure.

I think you will find that you have to buy a new turbo or find used turbine section and swap it out.

Take it apart, weld the gate shut. Drill a hole in the manifold and run an external gate. Easy easy.
