Just got my 2019 back from another month in the shop, and according to the invoice the entire engine block was replaced, about $9000. On the diagnostic the turbo impeller bolt came loose, on the brand new turbo they had just put on. I'm assuming that's what did it. Hope this ordeal is over with for now.

Yup that would do it. A lose nut on the clean air side bad juju. Glad you got it back!! Waiting for back ordered parts due to covid sucks!!

Hopefully this gets you sorted out.

On a side note, it's extremely rare to have the compressor shaft retaining nut come loose like that. Especially since the turbo needs to be balanced once assembly is done and you would think a loose nut would make it very difficult to do that.
