My son changed out #5 glow plug yesterday (Code P0675) and found this something went thru the turbo.

Just for grins........the P0675 code is back.

Rebuilt turbo from a local re builder here in Oceanside....about $600

did you suck a squirl through your turbo by accident or what? Those look like they took a beating.
This is why I try not to run anything but dry filters.

No idea what happened. My son was changing out #5 glow plug, pulled the intake tube for grins and then I heard "Dad, look what I found!" We checked the filter and any pathway that vcould lead to injestion, but found nothing. I'll fix it this weekend.

Any idea how long that may take?

Running a K&N filter, and a GDT

Do you have the aluminum plug in the turbo intake tube?

I saw some people plugging the 1/2" hole in the turbo intake tube (about 2" infront of the turbo) with some ACE hardware rubber plug with a nut and bolt... and if that is there that could have caused it if it came apart.

Factory runs a rubber tube from the crank case breather hole on the passenger valve cover up by the firewall to the turbo intake tube, a couple inches in front of the turbo, with a small heater inline of the tube.

That what is there, the factory setup.

I didn't look at the heater in the inlet tube, maybe the heater came apart and FOD'ed out the turbo. You just have to pull the end cover to get to the heater.

Make sure the K&N fits properly. I have seen numerous filters with bad fitments allowing dust particles to bypass the filter and erode turbo vanes. None as bad as yours however.

No, there is nothing supposed to be in that tube. There is a heating element in the upper portion but nothing that blocks the flow. Mine just sits alone in the engine bay taking up space.
