chipped fins on turbo
I just took the pipe from the air box into the turbo off and the blades are all chipped badly,there is no play up and down in the blades and they are still spinning smoothly
I assume this is the cause of my recent lack of power?-will i just need to change the turbo or could there be a lot more damage done to the engine-it happened because moisture got into the system and destroyed my air filter

Yep that's pumped!
Could send it off for a re-con to be 100% sure, buying 2nd hand IS a gamble, but that's why 2nd hand turbo's are cheap...
give CR Turbo's a call and see what they can do for you, explain you think the turbo is fine other than the compressor wheel is shot (this could have thrown it out of balance and damaged more but you won't know til it's in bits)
