EFR 8374 problems...broken

Hi Guys,

I have had very bad luck, my engine has swallowed a bolt , and I have damaged two pistons and my new turbo. It is possible to repair my new turbo? Is that they sell cartridges, but the price is about $1300 and I see it a little expensive. Options? Any advice or opinion?

Call Borg-Warner. I've heard these turbos aren't serviceable, but since it's a damaged wheel, they might rebuild it for you. It won't be cheap though, the turbine wheel is the crown of the EFR.

Gets kicked back out to the intake manifold - common. Painter's tape is your friend here.

So I'm going to do that, I will call to Borg Warner, to see if it possible repair it. I know that it is not cheap, but the turbo is really new, has no more of 500 miles, and I would like to repair it because I think it is best than to buy another new.

I will tell you what exactly happened:
Bolt inside of IC PIPE --> Intake Manifold --> Head Engine --> Turbo --> Exhaust --> Outside and bye bye ****ing bolt
