if i may elaborate on this abit chip i have a caterpillar d6r lgp that failed, lost power loads of black smoke. they are turbo with no intercooler turbo just runs directly into the inlet. when the turbo was removed the nut was gone from the compressor wheel shaft, looked in the inlet and it was just laying in there ! it was run for about an hour as would still push just down on power and they run about 14 psi of boost. tbh i couldnt understand how it didnt make its way into the engine but it didnt.
