It almost looks like there is some metal flakes on that coupler on the left, could it be possible your turbo is sucking the metal in from somewhere else?

 

Could it be that cheep *** flexpipe between your filter and turbo? did you clean that after you cut it?

 

oops http://www.badongo.com/vid/124453 ya i think i need a new turbo

 

no thats some kinda polish compond - its speckled all over my engine bay from a incedent with a buffer

 

ok ya.. didnt know why this wasent so obvious after i was able to twist the turbo slightly but the nut on my vband clamp was not very tight.. tightened it back up and seems ok now but damage may already be done.. we'll see
