Thought I would give the old girl a bit of a service this morning usual plugs out etc just taking the plug cover off and tinkle one of the bolts straight down inside the turbo input :splat: , couldn`t even see the thing and no magnet handy :slap: had to cut up and modify an old screwdriver with magnetic head with a piece of string to get the thing out :rolleyes: .
Memo to self must remember to put a rag over the intake pipe next time :slap:

the turbo went on my bro's Nissan 200, chunks out of the impella & thick grooves inside the housing they suspect was caused by a nut or bolt :slap:

lots of cursing at the time and relief when it finally dropped into my hand thought for a while it was turbo off job
