The catalytic convert... it's probably on top of the mesh...

I would have thought it would be in the turbo or the piping.  Although at the speeds these things turn, it could be embedded in the metal housing.  Also check the intercooler.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Am I thinking of the wrong side of the turbine?

The nut that holds the compressor wheel on the shaft? That sounds like a problem..

I'd guess the inlet to the Condenser...  to heavy to move past the rest at that distance.

I don't think it could make it past.
The fins inside the intercooler are pretty tight.

Here's a video I posted awhile back draining the intercooler,
You can see the fins.
