The intercooler will catch most of it, But should be removed/cleaned or replaced if concerned about that.

I have had a GT 45 (1200hp) turbo munch a foreign object at 30psi at 215kph on qld raceway, the cooler caught most of it, could not find anything further then the hot side, talking to good friends they said what did go past that point would have been dust and out the tailpipe, They were right no issues and clean bill of health after a cam was shoved in the plug hole.

Good luck with yours bud
