16g compressor wheel, still usable ?

[Kolby C]

hey guys, so i finally started taking apart my evo3 16g i picked up a while back and the compressor wheel seems to of hit the housing. the outer parts of fins have little chips and scrapes. is it still safe to use or should it be replaced? if so i have a fairly new ebay 20g (i know there junk) but it was practically free should i just use the wheel out of the 20g and make a hybrid turbo ? sorry if its hard to see the markings in the pictures. im fairly new to this so any help is appreciated.


thanks

Junk....victim of excessive thrust wear.

You can't use parts from eBay turbos on MHI turbos, either. Shafts are different diameters.

You need a new compressor wheel and a rebalance seeing as the locknut has balance grinds, showing the turbo was previously balanced as a rotating assembly.

damn any suggested places to buy a new wheel from ? and whats the average cost of having it re balanced ? thanks

Depending where you get it balanced, $45-$65 is average. Whoever does the work will need the turbine shaft, thrust collar, compressor seal collar, compressor wheel, and locknut all assembled and properly-torqued.

hey i know i posted this a while back but i forgot to ask is my compressor housing still good to use ? or should it be machined to get rid of the groves?
