Glws though
The turbo was ran under boost with the spun bearing. It started knocking as we idled into the shop bay and was immediately shut off. Oil was drained and only a very very fine dust was in the oil. No larger chunks. Frs300 blew his motor with a catastrophic failure resulting in very large metal flakes and his turbo was fine upon inspection. My turbo was visually inspected and showed no signs of damage.
