50th Anniversary XR6 Turbo Damage

Sold my 50th Anniversary XR6 Turbo. The guy asked had I had trouble with acceleration? This was a day after the purchase. Never, only ever run perfect. Next day it went into limp mode so he took it to his mechanic. The mechanic found a rag from my service 6 months ago had been sucked into the turbine. Damaged bent the fins and pieces missing. He commented the large pieces would get caught in the intercooler but would other bits get through? After he sent me the pics I contact my garage who agreed it was their fault and would rectify this with the guy. The garage arranged a flat tow to pick up the car. The guy I sold the car to was so grateful, but I felt some responsibility.

    How could this happen? The rag was in the intake pipe? How come it only went into the turbine wheel after 6 months?

    Shrapnel through the engine is disastrous.

    Perhaps it was a time traveling teleporting rag?
