That would be aluminum dust by definition.....  Change your oil a few times
in the next 2k....  The removal of the downpipe is not necessary, and would
add at least 3 hours to the job, btdt.....  lever the engine up, and use your
third hand to grab the turbo....  The 15mm nut (rear upper) is a pain, but as
the turbo slides away from the EM it comes out fairly easily, patience is
really the requirement.....   You really are lucky that schrapnel didn't blow
the motor.....   The oil prollum will prolly go away as you drive it.....
 Not sure I'd bother  sending that old one up for tweeks....
