Its hard for me to get an idea of the accual size even with the penny next to it. Only things I can think of with a shape like that would be piston rings or a wrist pin snap ring. But both of those would have a lot bigger radius then that penny so I am not sure about it, line them up like they are making a true radius so we can get an idea of what the accual radius is of what it came from.
I cant come up with anything that that would be.

If you put my 2 pieces together the outer DIAMETER is real close to the outer DIAMETER of the penny...about 3/4" (DIAMETER or 3/8" RADIUS).

Are both sides of those pieces completely flat, like in the photo? If both sides are flat, I don't think it could have come from the turbo's thrust bearing. The piece I found was very small:
I'm wondering if it's not a piece from inside the pedistal. When you gutted your EBPV, what did you do with all of the actuating stuff in the pedistal?
