I doubt it did anything real bad to the engine but its not a good thing
for sure. The ONLY way for the impeller blades to be worn off like he
is saying is for something to get sucked in. Only takes a second too.
I am 99.9% sure what I said happened is what happened. Its easy to do if
you are not paying attention when putting the air cleaner back on. In
any case, the shop should be picking up the tab for a new turbo and install.

Is that what would happen, assuming Kaleb's theory of the fat O-ring getting
sucked in? Wow, time to start looking for a new engine already? Perhaps the
shop that installed the engine will be so kind as to pick up the cost for
purchase and install of the new engine?
Very respectfully,

Didn't he say right from the start that the new engine didn't have as much power
as the old one? I shudder to think of all those little pieces of metal going
through the valves and cylinders. On second though I don't think I would buy
this car. :-)

Glad to hear the mystery is solved! Curious that you didn't notice any power
loss.
