Ready to race!
A few quick questions about the attached photos:

1) In the 02 sensor hole before the CAT on the CBFA motor, should I have that white stuff in there? Seems to be clothes almost like a fabric, not sure if that is part of the stock design or if that CAT shit the bed and it's part of that coming apart. If so what is it? If not so, what is it?!
2) The stage 2 APR intake pipe has what looks to be metallic pieces stuck to the inside primarily at the elbow that turns down to the turbo input, I say primarily because there was one piece of whatever it is at the elbow behind the MAF. I checked the intake in front of the stage 2 pipe, nothing in there, as well as the pancake pipe and the intercooler hose after the pancake pipe, nothing could be seen in either of those. If it is a metal, where could it have come from? PCV blow by from the head? up from the intake side of the turbo? Whatever it is it requires a knife or something hard to scape it from the carbon fiber.
3) How do the front and rear 02 sensors look? I only ask because of my low catalyst bank 1 code (P0420) I've had for awhile (maybe related to stock down pipe and that white stuff if not normal). Not sure if visual inspection can determine anything
4) Looking at the hot side of the stock IHI K03 turbo, the bit on the end of the shaft made me nervous last night, after seeing some pictures it appears as if that is normal?
5) Any visual or physical way to determine if the turbo is shot? I can get a camera to look down the intake side of the turbo or take off the muffler on the output side if necessary. There is a fairly good oil leak somewhere on the back side, not sure if at the turbo or somewhere else. The DV is out as well now for replacement.
Current plan is to install AWE DP tonight and new DV valve and start it. If it runs fine I guess I'm good. If not either the turbo is shot or their is engine damage somehow. Last time it was on a little over a week ago the only codes it was throwing were under boost and that p0420 low catalyst bank 1, (that code i've had for 18 months though). If there were motor damage i'd like to think i'd at least be showing misfire codes, or that the timing was out. Hopefully all the crazy noise and shitty running was from the toasted diverter valve and the holes in the stock flex pipe.
I can provide more pictures if something else would help answer any of these. Maybe I'm being too paranoid, but I'd rather do my clutch before replacing the turbo or building the motor. Hopefully, neither of those will be the case just yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
