I finally got around to tearing things apart for the purpose of installing my test pipe. When I pulled the Trap Cat this is what I found.
When I cut the flange off to make my second test pipe, I got a better look at what was inside.
When I opened up the turbo to check things out and get it cleaned up, I heard some rattling when I shook the turbine housing I had just taken off and this is what came out of the turbine housing.
Surprisingly, I think I'm ok. I don't see any evident damage to the turbine.
And even with that obstruction, I was able to pull 10psi of boost. I have a hunch the turbine is going to spool a whole lot faster now.
