Trashed compressor wheel

[gnx139]

OK here it is. I must have put on the MAF clamps too tight. It cracked a dime piece of plastic. I noticed this today after cleaning my K&N filter. So I ask myself, where did the piece of plastic go? I look at my compressor wheel of my Precision GT3255 and the fins are trashed. How screwed am I?? Can I just replace the compressor wheel? What happens to this piece of plastic once it goes through the turbo? Can I just order a new wheel from PTE or does the whole turbo need a rebuild? I am pissed.

Likely the trash is in the I/C...
As for the turbo, it goes back to PTE. Has to be repaired and rebalanced...

Are any of the PTE guys on this site? I have sent PTE an e-mail requesting instructions to send to them and have not heard back.

You can replace the wheel yourself and then have it balanced.

The turbo is removed. I also removed the IC. Turned it upside down and some small pieces of metal and plastic came out. I flushed it 3 times with gas then used compressed air to flush it some more. The turbo is being sent to Precision. I'll also change the oil and filter.
