Crack the opposing fins to ghetto-balance it and go for it... hehe... mine looks similar, that's what I'll be doing until I can afford the couple of hundred dollars to fix it. The wheel's garbage anyway, just don't scar the housing.

BTW I'm a n00b so take my words w/ a grain of salt. But I took mine to a turbo repair shop and they said $230 CDN to repair it (labour and taxes included), or do what I described and ghetto-balance it. If it blows most of the junk will get caught in the intercooler fins anyway.

I wouldn't. If the fins break again they could blow your motor.

I wouldn't Derron! But when Mike Laskey came to VMP for NOPI I noticed he had one compressor wheel chipped bad like that and he said it was like that for awhile. So go figure.
