PT has the turbo. Ala bit over 600 to fix. They said the housing is not part of the FOD. I'm just confused as to what that is now.

Only other thing it would likely be without an engine failure is a bit of exhaust sleeve? Have you confined they are intact?

I've stuck my phone camera in there, viewed it with some light, and ran my fingers around it, nothing seems like it broke. I have a bore scope coming and plan to check it further tomorrow.

Got the scope in, still nothing, everything looks good. I looked at the manifold again and don't really see anything that could have done it.
Guess I'll have to wait for the piece.

The divider in the manifold is what came loose. It broke off so clean I didn't notice that it was missing.

The pulsation between exhaust runners when you have a shared single wastegate is crazy strong.

I had a similar situation where divider kept breaking out when racing after reinforcing it a couple times I gave up and kept it collected.

The cast HKS manifold has the blowdown slot at the turbo flange for this reason too.

Sorry for your loss.
