MC-2 let lloose.. (short, curious)

[Peter Berrevoets]

How good a filter is the turbo?

I think this bit had to come from somewhere and it would have to be from
after the intercooler, to be of any size, to have caused the described
damage.

A screw or metal piece accidentaly left in the michelin man hose? a throttle
valve screw? an injector hat? an injector seat? something along those lines
would be the only place I could imagine a part coming from.

I hope it keeps running along fine, but being inorganic, they don't grow
back and something is sure to turn up sooner or later.

The friendly parts vulture,
