I've had a small foreign object find it's way from a rebuilt turbo, into the turbo sump, and ultimately wound up at the scavenge pump where it locked the 2 gears and sheared the drive pin. It also slightly gouged the pump housing.

I pulled the pump apart, cleaned it up, polished the housing up a little, and fabricated a new drive pin from medical grade titanium used to make dental implants. It works fine now
