The nut did not get ingested. Luckily the blade spacing prevented that. It just rattled around and wore away the blades.

UPDATE: This is the short version:) I think I had the turbo in and out at least 5 times. Found a used type D turbo to replace my type D. Installed it. Test 1: Started engine and oil leaking all over turbo. Shut down with about a minute after realizing the oi Removed turbo again to...

The turbo came out without much problem. Just needed about 16" of leverage for the exhaust bolts. It looks like I found a used turbo i'm likely purchasing now, but still wan't to investigate and possibly repair the one I have. The harder part to disassemble is getting the cartridge assembly out...
