I do see things in the real world.... don't see Mountune building their engines on a concrete floor do you.

You are right, they might not "blow up" but all that fine swarf will play havoc in your engine. You will end up with blow by, an oil pump that isn't as effecient as it should be and cams that wear quicker than they should etc

I'm trying to help you out here.

and the swarf could stuck in oil feed and blow the turbo then you would have loads od metal in the engine
but each to there own i say.
from my relative short experience turboing BMW it is not as easy as everyone thinks.
