What is this metal from in my oil pan?

Those are the stock turbo (t25) journal bearings I believe.

Edit: maybe the turbo was replaced previously? Make sure to clean everything good when doing the rebuild!

when I bought my talon it had a blown 16g and I just put a 20g in it right before it stopped running.
but Wait what.... how the hell does a turbo bearing get in my oil pan....
 
Yes Justin is correct which is how I knew what it was (from the other threads I saw the week before! haha.)

Btw to answer the question

how the hell does a turbo bearing get in my oil pan....

They fit through the turbo drain line (the line going to the oil pan)
 
wow, sorry for misinfo.... interesting i've never seen this before.... but haven't messed w/ 2g's too much either.
