should i be worried?
i picked up a 89-91 turbo/exhaust manifold today... i get it home, go to take pictures, and notice what i somehow missed before... the blades on the exhaust impeller are kind of messed up, like a apex seal might have went thru it... the turbo spins freely, and there is hardly any or possibly no end play, everything else looks good... heres a pic... let me know what you think... btw the stuff on the blade is just a cobweb with grass stuck in it

Yea I can see that the rotors are slightly bent. Doesn't look like a big deal to me. If anything, I'd be checking the turbo for heat cracks and such, thats what you really have to worry about.
