Did I ruin it?
Brand new garrett gtx3582r Gen 2 pre drilling for boost source nipple and the one time in my life the bit is sharp when I don't want it to be. FML?

Ah man, I want to say you should be fine, but to be honest, there might be a leak.

Show me a pic of the mating surface? Is there an o-ring?

There is a large orange oring that looks like it sits on that lip. I'll post a Pic when I get home. There is still a tiny ledge there and I've smoothed off the metal there so it doesn't damage the oring and in hopes to still give it a surface to seal too.

U don't think that would get sucked into the engine do you?

If it was me I wouldn’t sweat it, prob wouldn’t make it past the intercooler, and one hell of a chance if it did it would go right through the engine.
I would tell a customer to replace it cause it’s not my $$ so there is no reason to suggest anything else. I’d put rtv in the hole |

Put it back together, cap off one end, boost leak test from the other.

It's pretty much under pressure all the time so it'll be pushing out against that wall so I don't think you'll have any issues.

Compressors make pressure! So the most force that seal will be seeing is the direction to try and push it out of the housing. I wouldn't have any fear of this getting suck into the compressor wheel, chopped up into tiny bits and then lodging themselves in you intercooler. |

IIRC that o-ring pushes to the outer edge of the compressor cover, so that notch will have little if any impact on the seal.
