[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 15257018, member: 117234"] Your blower was spinning at 32000 to 52000 rpms depending on your boost level. At that speed it really does not take much to seriously damage the impeller. If the elbow collapsed or it shifted and made contact with the blades even for a mili second it would easily cause damage just like you have. This happens because one small piece of a blade breaks off and then causes a domino effect tearing up more blades. It's really not much different then what happens when you have FOD enter a turbo shaft or turbo fan engine. All you can from here is upgrade and figure out something with that elbow to make sure it does not happen again. [/QUOTE]
