Destroyed compressor blades on stock turbo.

Destroyed compressor blades on stock turbo.
So driving back from a get together, I'm going up the driveway to my house and as it starts to spool I hear this weird weezing noise that is really not supposed to be there. Soon as I get to the drive way, I shut the car off, pull the intake and the compressor blades are all bent and messed up.
Intake Mod:
HKS Panel Filter
I'll post pictures later.

There's only 2 ways you see that type of damage:
1) Compressor wheel injested a foreign object
2) One blade on the centrif fractured, seperated, and lodged into the other blades - This is either from material defects or modal excitation (sorry to go all Engineering speak here)
Either way, you're going to have pieces in your IC pipes or lodged in your IC.

Either a piece of cast come loose or a piece of overmolded plastic from the intake came loose or #2, I'm leaning toward #2 since all i found in the IC was pieces of compressor blades.

I agree it's possible, I just don't see it likely. I'm used to seeing what sand particles will do to axial compressor blades over time, so I'm just trying to draw a comparison in my head. A small piece of plastic should just get eaten by the wheel.
