If that thing doesn't have any in/out play right now, it sure did at one point in it's life. Major compressor wheel and cover damage.

The only way you could fix the existing cover is to have it machined larger to get the grooves out, then you'd need a 20G wheel. At that point the turbine housing (6cm) will be way undersized.

You're correct in assuming the cost to fix this thing the right way would be excessive. Your best financial choices are to either run it as-is, or PM me if you're interested in selling it for parts to get out from underneath it.
