Filter sucked through turbo

I had a loose fan belt which caused the filter to block from the particles. This then caused the filter to be sucked into the turbo!! Great design eh!!
Yes it is the recommended filter setup.
My question is- This obviously gets sucked through to the after cooler which I have cleaned but there didn't seem to be a lot in there. Where does it go from there and could it cause damage elsewhere?

Follows the air=flow.
Filter - turbo -aftercooler - intake -valves -pistons -valves -exhaust - turbo (exhaust side) and out!
Had twin AD31's and stopped rather quick using those filters. Lasted max 50 hours before getting 'clogged', mainly by moisture!
Just used a mosquito net to keep nuts and bolts away!
