piece of latex glove in turbocharger
long story short , smoke tested car and covered the inlet with a latex glove. Had to move the car just 15 feet away after 6 hours of work and moved it while pretty disassembled. I completely forgot to remove the glove and when I started the car the glove popped. I had the car on for 20 seconds and there was a hole in the glove. checked the turbo with a boroscope and it confirmed my fear. The angle of the inlet makes it almost impossible to pick it out. What can I do
