Is this wheel junk?

As I stated is the turbine wheel junk. Pic's are not the best but I think you see what I'm talking about. Every blade is a little bent over and I didnt know if I need to replace this or not. Thanks

Excessive EGT's or backpressure will do that, too...it doesn't necessarily mean something went through the housing.

While it's apart, I would replace it. If it's a HX35 turbine I try to stock them at all times- if it's a HX40 turbine, you may have a hard time finding a durable replacement at an affordable price.

If left alone, it may look like this the next time you tear it down:

That could be better determined with better pictures but like i said simply put it is not any good.
