Ummm...Yeah.... Seeing as turbo's are like in the same family as those food processors, I sure wouldnt stick my hand near them lest this happen.
Not for the faint of heart.

Every fan is a safety fan. If you stick your finger in it, you won't keep it there for very long.

Lots of people don't realize just how much air a turbo moves. I've seen many people use cheesy cone filters on turbo cars just to have them crumple like a soda can, many times bad enough to let the turbo suck in bits of the filter and wire mesh. Of course the turbo ends up seizing up and the turbo looks like it sucked in a rats nest.

Well, I dont think this guy is on ATOT, because he'd have posted a thread asking "I just chopped off my fingertip, I think I can see the bone... what do I do now?"
