a cap built into the air filter (cone type) was sucked through the granetelli air mass meter without dammaging it and against the turbo inlet... the turbine shaft and compressor wheel nut drilled a hole perfectly in the center of this steel cap and it shut off the air to the turbo... other then buggering the threads on the end of the shaft and the nut a little the turbo was undammaged .... but the restriction on the intake air filled the intake tract with oil which was sucked into the compressor housing past the bearing....so when I put it all back together it took about 1/2 hour to burn off all the oil that was in the intercooler ... I cant believe the turbo survived this but it did :-)
take care
