I've got a pair of S5 turbo rotors (not sure of their weight codes) that are spotless if you need. 40k mi on both of them, btw.

the rotor almost looks like it took a chunk off the housing

Nothing has been cleaned, that is exactly as the motor was pulled apart, carbon and all. If you look at the rotor, when the seal broke it went into the side you really cannot see and dented the tip of the rotor then as the rotor came around and smashed it into the housing it buried a piece into the rotor (the shiny spec you can see) I removed the two sections around the dent so Martin could see what is stuck and why the rotor is bad.
