Turbo compressor erosion

Just a few quick questions.

I have this set of turbos with what looks to be erosion caused by sand or something, On the primary turbo compressor only.
every other part of the turbo's are perfect.
They seem to be eroded extremely evenly aswell.

Now would i run any risk to my new motor using these for break-in, up until i go single turbo after break-in is done?

thanks

I would think that it would be fine for breaking in your motor.....I would be more interested in finding out how all the crap got in there to do that damage..... and ensure it does not happen again.

I had bought the turbos in a lot of parts.
supposedly low mileage.
