Default F1A Impeller Damage

After removing a Procharger F1A head unit involved in a frontal collision, we noticed some of the leading edges of the impeller blades are chipped, most likely due to debris hitting the fins. When this happens, is the unit a total loss? We noticed damage at the 4, 6 and 10 O'clock positions on the impeller. Any thoughts? Thanks..

Send it in to ProCharger (913 338-2886) to get a new impeller installed. Bob

Yep, need to send it in. The balance is critical anytime something spins that fast!! If the damage is not too bad, the blades can be blended and rebalanced. Any pictures?
