Why absolutely! When my motor took a poop one of the first things I saw in the exhaust manifold was pieces of metal. Interestingly enough they were also in the downpipe. They did'nt kill the turbo but they broke pieces off of the turbine wheel and killed my exapump. The turbo would still boost but it was'nt what it was supposed to be. The fix was to do a rebuild and replace the turbine wheel with a new balanced wheel.
