This was going to be my next suggestion, reason for asking if they were ceramics. I once lost a turbine wheel, no serious noise when they go, just a bit of a muffled kind of "whump" sound
It was the rear turbo, wheel completely disintergrated into small gravel like pieces and went out the exhaust.............some remained in the tailpipe as a tell tale. Car still ran fine apart from where you expected boost there was none, no oil smoke etc, I drove it 6 miles home after his happened. I dont recall any missing or associated carry on as you are having though, but would not rule this out
Have you recently de-catted the car by any chance? This is what caused my turbo calamity........... de-cat, cold morning, no turbo...........
It is an ar5e of a job to get the turbo's off too
