Stock turbo options

Picking fights on I-65 since 2013
I did search found nothing


ok, so while workin on my ty i tryed to spin the compressor wheel and it wouldn't budge..
so i took off the turbo (with the help of mike renz's constant badgering)
finally was able to take it apart (having the right tools helped get that snap ring off in 2sec)

and now, im left with this: :(

lots of cracked and or broken teeth on the compressor wheel


The black areas on the housing indicate where the wheel was obviously hitting


I have more pics if anyone needs to see better pics..

The compressor wheel, DOES spin, when the housing is off, quite easily to.. but can i replace just the wheel, with one that isnt broken to shit? Im positive i cant cut off piece of the teeth (it would prevent them from falling off later though) but id build no boost.. and im sure i cant grind down the housing so that the teeth dont hit..

so what are my options?

should i buy a used stock turbo from someone?
should I look into rebuilding this one?
or should I wait until i have a job (not looking good) and buy a big ass turbo (not my first choice)

no you cannot just replace the wheel. it has to be balanced. if it isnt balanced it wil spin itsself apart like yours did already.

I too have a stock turbo and a 20g I need to sell. :)
