Should i use this turbo (pics)
I am in the process of swapping turbos because a set was leaking oil. On the used set that was bought to replace it, one of the exhaust impeller looks like this, should i put it in the car or is it completly ruined?
first pic of the chunk that is gone, second pic is of one of the impeller that is bent a lot.
please let me know what you think.

I wouldn't even consider using a turbo that had broken/bent blades. The blades have a VERY well defined shape to keep efficiency up and heat down. A set in that condition will at best be inefficient, and at worse, would cause bearing failure and cause you to buy a new set anyways.

Even though most of the turbo looks untouched, the missing and bent areas are more than enough to cause a serious imbalance. So they would either run like **** immediately, or the imbalance would cause them to quickly wear out anyway.
So as Rich put it simply, they are screwed.
