Why do you say that? I put a new Grenade in! Maybe the whole engine could grenade now though bc I’m not sure if there’s metal in the heads or anywhere else

Hey y’all this is my first post. I just bought a 05 legacy gt for a thousand because the turbo ate a nut and sent metal into the engine. At first I was going to pull it apart and lick every spot clean, but it’s a 1000 dollar car so I said screw it and just dumped the oil out, put a new filter, a new vf40 turbo off Amazon for 250, cleaned the air to air cooler which was full of metal, and just ran it for a half hour, let the oil out hot, and cleaned the filter out, put new oil in and started it back up. Now to my question. it’s running fine but I read the number of people who succeeded doing this is single digits. I can’t see a problem, and it’s not throwing codes, and the metals almost completely out of the oil, and it’s just running fine. It does kick up the idle to 2000 rpm like a minute after it idles by itself, and then drops a little later. Am I good to go? I think I added a number to that single digit list of people who did it? The old owner didn’t drive it after it blew up he immediately stopped it so I think the wear did not get too bad
