So I uninstalled my Cobb and I open my air box to remove my BMS drop in and I see a chunk of the air filter is broken off. The chunk is from the right side of the box right above the rear turbo inlet. I believe the chunk of rubber got sucked into the intake and caused damage to one of the turbos. I don't really know what to do and the car isn't under warranty. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Also I'll try to get a pic of the broken air filter. I'm on my phone now so I can't at the moment.
you can always replace one turbo if you dont have the funds. a used turbo can be had for 2-3 hundred.

labor if you cant do it yourself shouldnt be more then 300-500.
