as the turbine is post engine then the bits normally get caught by the cat. If you dont have a cat they fly out the exhaust. As its a ceramic turbine on a j-spec it shatters when it fails and just disappears.

 

So a blown turbo on a j-spec is normally okay for the engine so long as it didnt blow due to some other problem with the engine.

Mine went just like that :)

 

Isn't yours a UK car? Surely the steel turbines wouldn't disintegrate in the same way as the ceramic ones? Mine have done 101k miles now - I hope they don't decide to go pop any time soon cos I've just spent all my money on a house!!
