well my turbo blew up and sent the exhaust wheel and a bunch of bits of blades out the exhausts there any chance it could of had a piece fly back through the manifold? or is there to much flow to prevent that? it wont run right now cause i have not put the new turbo on yet but i hope i dont have to take the manifold off and look

Well, that is almost impossible to answer. The only way to know for sure is to pull out the plugs and take a look with a bore-scope or take the head off and inspect. With stock cams, the chances are higher than if you were running low overlap cams. Also, if this happened while in boost there is a pretty good chance that nothing went backwards since the de-pressurizing exhaust would have flooded out of the manifold when the wheel broke up....but no guarantees.

does the car run? then dont worry about it.

Just cause it runs now doesn't mean anything....you can have a ring-land failure and not even know it, and that debris could cause such damage.

it could go through the system, depending on how big the pieces are, they could get caught in the intercooler...

this is the hot side wheel aka exhaust i have like 1500 little pieced on the floor and one big chunk of the peice where it snapped off , this happend while not moving just revving it up i know how it broke the cold side wheel was removed and reinstalled not in the same postion its supposed to be in (ballanced) so it wobbled too much and snapped i just hope when i take it apart, ( leaving exhaust housing on the manifold ) that there isnt going to be peices i missed and get caught this sucks
