Small Plastic Tab fell into the Intake to the Turbos - What to do
While installing a Charge pipe on the intake, I think the small plastic tab off the Diverter valves fell into what I believe are the Intake for the Turbos (Indicated in picture below).
I looked around, couldn't find the piece. Ran the car a 100km since then. High Boost with JB4, turbos, etc. Haven't felt anything different. 1) Are these the intake ducts for the turbos? 2) Do you think if it went it, it would have been lodged somewhere before the turbos waiting to go in at any time? 3) Could a piece of plastic like that cause any damage to the turbos or the engine? 4) What can I do? Just hoping it's already gone through. ![]() Picture 1: Approximate size of grey plastic tab Picture 2: Where it fell in |

if it did manage to make it through the turbos, it would probably be stuck in your intercooler. That would be a pretty easy thing to check.

yeah, see what the fins look like on the outside? That's what they look like on the inside too.
