When I blew my 14b the wheel shattered into my intercooler. The pieces ended up being in the intercooler inlet. I think some may have made it into the engine, but that's an assumption because the engine was just fine afterwards. Slapped on a new turbo and it was good as before with compression results being the same. Loads of smoke too btw.
