Debris Damage
Yes, it is broken for sure. The vane pinions are not flimsy therefore we can only assume that a casting weakness existed or foreign material like the piece of casting we found in the turbo had something to do with the demise of this turbocharger. The casting piece (not pictured) looked like it most likely came from one of the manifolds.
