Unhappy Compressor wheel damaged.

Today my 13b twinturbo engine comes out of my FD. The cause is a blown apex of the rear rotor. As i see the primary turbo....i wouldn't believe but the compressor wheel has some deformation and damage. Since 3 months i'heard a whistle..think thats the cause, but boost was ok! Now im not sure what i should do..replace compressor wheel, but where to get here in switzerland? Going single? I have connections to a turbonetics dealer, wich setup would be good for semi-Bridgeport, open exhaust? Hope you can help. Thnx in advance!

If you have the engine out already, go single. Get rid of all the tangling little vac hoses and save the solenoids for spares. You'll have more reliability and less mess.
Just make sure you upgrade your fuel system to support the single turbo.
