My question's are... Where did it go (how far through the intake, probably the intercooler)? What damage could this have done?

Maybe pull the Spearco and flush it with water, just to see if anything is in there.

I was wondering if you had a spearco. You could send it to me, i have an aluminum scrap pile being accumulated... (yeah right). Yes i was going to say, just backflush it with water or a huge volume of air such as a backpack leaf blower... I am definitely thinking you got a fluke filter, there are guys running alot more CFM through those filters than what you were when it got sucked in.
