Many years ago, I built a big turbo VW. I used a Sham-Wow to temporarily plug part of the intake tract. I forgot it was in there and when I started the monster, it made a very strange noise followed by having no power. Turns out the Sham-Wow wrapped itself around the impeller wheel and locked it up tight.

It took me a couple hours to pick all the bits out of the impeller wheel, but it didn't get past it.

Don't feel bad. This sort of thing happens.
