Alright here are a few more pics.

How does this wheel look to everyone?



And do you guys think I should replace this vband clamp is a little twisted. I'm leanings towards replacing it.

Alright here are some pics. From what I can tell it doesn't look horrible. But I also don't know what horrible looks like





Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Any thoughts? I'm thinking I'm going to try it as is. The scoring you can hardly feel with your fingers.

I would perhaps lightly take a file or fine sandpaper (400 or 600 grit) to the burrs on the impeller. But I wouldn't worry about the cover at all. I would also check for shaft play as I'd wonder why there's any burrs on the impeller to begin with. But that's me and my $.02

I would replace the vband clamp for sure, and the housing is fine. For the impeller blades, follow adams instructions. Be very light, barely touching it. As long as shaft play is minimal, you're fine.

Thanks for the advice. The turbo has no shaft play. It's because the turbo was used without a filter for about 2 weeks.
