Where to buy a magnet oil drain bolt?

Why do you want a magnetic oil plug? Do you have metal particles in your oil? If so, I think you'd be better off spending your time and money on figuring out why there's metal in your oil...
 
I was boosting 22psi on a 14b rubber peice from inbetween intake pipe and the compressor housing got sucked in at full boost. After i looked i noticed 2 missing blades, the rest are bent and it now has about 1 inch side to side play. good thing i had about 2 quarts of oil in my side mount as it filtered out all the metal chunks and got most of the rubber that was left. I have a fine gliter of metal still in intake, but no metal damaged the intake/exhaust. I do have a gliter mix in my oil, it is only noticed in the fram filter and last few drops when draining oil. I set my awd turbo to be a non turbo awd, to get the oil out of my internals. I have noticed it decrease in metal as in now it is only in filter and in last drops of oil. I need this to get more metal out and to get a better idea of how much more or how little is left, and to see if the motor is toast.
 
A magnetic drain plug isnt going to do much for you. The glitter you see is probably from the brass bearings in the turbo. Brass is notmagnetic so it wont stick to the drain plug. If it is engine bearing material, it too is non magnetic. About the only time you will find magnetic debris in the oil is after catastrophic failure.
