melted some wires....oops

Ok, so I finally got my swap running (EJ22T in 94 impreza) and I took it around the neighborhood for 5 minutes then put it back in the driveway. Once I put it in the driveway it stalled out, I tried to restart it and nothing. It turns out that the turbo gets kinda hot
and I had melted some wires. I had them all wire loomed and what not but forgot to secure them so they were sitting right on the turbo. I haven't checked yet to see what wires melted but I'm pretty sure that this is the reason the car stalled.
Anyways, my question is, could the wires coming in contact with metal while the car was running have caused any sort of damage to the ecu? I didn't have time to re-solder the wires, but if I do should the car start again, right?
Thanks
