Default I have no idea!

I think it just vanished or got all chewed up. When the guys at DSR took it apart, they didn't see the fan blade anywhere!!!

Holy crap! Do you think that blade is lodged in your exhaust somewhere?

Default Yep. Mine looked exactly like that. The blade should be lodged in your precat...

...there is no way for it to get through and nowhere else for it to go.

Default You may want to have them look in the DP before the cat. It may be lodged there!

If not, then you have a rip in the space-time continuum inside your turbo and it should be kept under strict observation by the scientific community.
