turbine wheel damage...how bad?
So I opened up my small 16g today to prep for rebuilding it tomorrow. I bought it used, and the guy from whom I bought it assured me that aside from being old, it was in great shape with nothing wrong with it.
Now I find this. (See attached pictures)
How bad do you think this is? Would it be terrible to reuse that turbine wheel? If I did find a replacement (if you have one, let me know), would mating the compressor wheel I have currently then need a professional balance? Also, should I e-mail and "complain" to the guy I bought it from?
Thanks everybody.

yeah, getting a turbine from a 14b is the way to go if u dont get your money back from that *******, that sux man!
I had the same kinda thing happen with a 13g, guy told me the same crap.. i get it, and the damn center section was about to fall out of it, the turbine housing was cracked so bad.

Man that blows. Balancing at my local turbo shop in Nashville cost right anywhere from $30- $35. Get your money back for sure if you can then go looking for used parts. You could call turbo shops and see if they have anything used laying around. Like Gpop for example. Never know, you might get lucky.

what it SHOULD look like
I don't think this thing can be rapaired, getsideways, as it is supposed to look like this:
Clearly, I'm missing a fairly significant chunk of each fin.
You know, timing is great. I finally have time to start moving forward, and I find this. Oh well, **** happens I guess.
