I just want to second what Justin said. You can't just bolt on a compressor wheel. The entire CHRA needs to be balanced since it spins upwards of 100,000RPM. That said, you may also have damage to the center housing shaft and/or bearings. The only type of "repair" I would consider on a turbo is to buy a fully assembled CHRA. If there is no significant damage to your turbine and compressor housings then you can reuse them. That said, most of the cost is in the CHRA anyway.

If you do try to simply bolt on that compressor wheel and reinstall the turbo you're risking massive damage to your engine as that wheel could completely let go sending chunks of aluminum through your engine.
