So, I recently had some complications with my hx35. Currently I need to decide if I should continue with my current turbo, rebuild it, and reuse it. Or buy another one. Upon removing the turbo, due to excesive in and out shaft play, I found that the compressor wheel has been contacting the compressor cover and they have been eating away at each other. Turbine wheel on the other had still looks good. So I have two questions. #1 I guess most important, do you think the center section is savable? And what are some clues that it's trashed? Below I have a picture of all sorts of cabon buildup caught in the dust shield. Turbo still pulled just as hard until the day I pulled it. And #2 is it worth upgrading my compressor wheel to a larger wheel? Current setup is BEP bolt on turbine housing and 8 blade hx35. I found an upgraded compressor wheel and compressor cover made by BAE. I will be staying with the bolt on housing for now, so t3 is not an option at this point.

Car is currently at 400whp on a mustang dyno and I'm not looking to make much more with my stock block. Looking for any good advice, ask questions about the car if you need more details. May have forgot some details.
