Turbo Fins all bent and destroyed

Im currently in the middle of my rebuild and realize that my turbo fins are all bent to hell. Ill upload pics in a few more hours. I was wondering where I can just get the compression side turbo fin from. Would a mazda dealership have one. or is there somewhere else i can go to get it. the turbo was rebuild not to long ago (about a year ago) and has no shaft play and spools easily. Just need the fin part.

Get a good used turbo - they are plentiful and cheap.
All FC3S turbo turbos are identical on the compressor side.

If you can't find one, now is the time to do a compressor upgrade.

DO NOT just add another compressor wheel there is a reason that your fins are bent and most likely the seals are gone on your turbo as well as the bearings shot. also even if they aren't when you just "add" that compressor wheel unballanced you will end up crashing your tubor anyways since Dynamically ballancing rotating turbo assemblies usually costs anywhere from 50 - 100 dollars you are better off spending the money to buy a good used one, or getting yours rebuilt.
