Narrative:

Departing runway 19L at las destination pdx. 29 degrees C, flaps 11 degrees, normal power, MD80 aircraft, 132000 pounds. On takeoff leg approximately 600 ft AGL, the right engine displayed a slight power surge. A few seconds later 3 loud bangs were heard with very noticeable air frame buffet. Engine indications confirmed it was again the right engine. Power was reduced to idle and no further noise or vibration was felt. Rotation was indicated on N1 and N2 and egt never indicated an overtemp. Declared an emergency, entered left downwind to the runways 25, and requested an immediate landing. Landed runway 25R. Tower advised no visible problems on right side. Secured the engine once clear of runway. Airborne approximately 4 mins. Emergency services met the aircraft at the runway and followed us to the gate to deplane passenger. Overweight landing was greater than 130000 pounds (2000 pounds over). Brake overheat light came on at gate but we had cooling fans already in place. No apparent wheel or brake problems. The problem at first thought appeared to be compressor stalls, but I felt our conditions were not right for that. After conferring with maintenance and some inspecting, metal pieces were found in tailpipe. I was told this would indicate at least partial turbine failure. I'm filing this report on the advice of my pilot organization safety representative.

A FEW SECONDS LATER 3 LOUD BANGS WERE HEARD WITH VERY NOTICEABLE AIR FRAME BUFFET. ENG INDICATIONS CONFIRMED IT WAS AGAIN THE R ENG. PWR WAS REDUCED TO IDLE AND NO FURTHER NOISE OR VIBRATION WAS FELT. ROTATION WAS INDICATED ON N1 AND N2 AND EGT NEVER INDICATED AN OVERTEMP.
