Genesis turbo bov recirculation pipe disconnected.

[G70Ar]

So, I tried a hack from yt for turbo noise by disconnecting the bov recirculation hose and I forgot to plug the hose from the bov side and left it hanging and drove for a few miles and then when I realized I saw some dust in the hose not alot but some and now im worried about the turbos being damaged. Did I mess up the engine or turbos?

Which side did you leave open, the hose coming from the BOV or the nipple on the intake?

Both bovs, i disconnected the bov but left the hose connected to the air intakes to the turbo, and forgot to plug it from that cheap hack and drove like a mile or 2 in the community and when I came back there was some dust in the pipe not alot but definitely noticeable, I haven't had issues but I'm worried about the turbo being damaged.

I tried cleaning most of it out but not sure if it's too late

Unless that mile or two was in the middle of a sand storm you should be okay. A dirty air filter would probably let more than that in the system over time... Cap it off and call it good.

Ahh thanks man such a relief, I was so worried I kept asking many ppl and they all said it's not bad, just one more thing does the dealership inspect the turbos and pipes on service?

Yes. They open the hood, look down and "yep, it has a turbo", then close the hood.

Ahh so they don't really check, sorry I'm not sure if you were saying in a joking way or they actually check them. Thanks

I've had a few turbo cars. All they ever did was look under the hood. Never touched one.

These are how the turbo looks like and the little bit of dust in the pipe
