Id say its time for a rebuild. Or at least a new wheel/balancing.

I think it's fine. I mean, it only spins 150K rpms and the balance can't be thrown off too much with those huge *** dents, right?

Don't listen to these negative nancy's! Run that turbo, you know you want to. Bolt it to the most expensive engine you can find and give it hell. Post pictures of the carnage.
