Bad news.
I can't use the damaged wheel. I put it back together and noticed 3 of the inducer vanes are damaged and create a large gap to the housing on the intake of the compressor. I'm sure it would leak at least a couple psi of boost. Not to mention surging and all sorts of bad things.
So I'm trying to find a replacement wheel but I'm losing hope. The exducer is 98mm and inducer is 65mm. That's huge in the turbo world. And it has to fit the housing perfectly. The only things I found that are even close is a Turbonectrics T-70 or maybe a Mitsubishi TD05/TD06. And if I went that route I think I would have to get the housing and the wheel and adapt it to the motor.
Or maybe have the original wheel 3d printed.
To make matters worse, the wheel is now stuck to the motor shaft. Whenever I tested the motor I had the wheel loosely fitted. There's a countersunk screw that holds the wheel to the shaft but it appears that the bore of the wheel is tapered. The torque of the motor pulled the wheel down
and closed the gap between the wheel and the mounting plate. The gap where my puller used to fit. This is turning into a major learning experience.
