Hi, just need some advice really. I have aquired this turbo as shown in the attached images, but as you can see in the photos one of the blades on the rotory fan is slightly bent at the top. Will this effect its performance? There is no play in the blade at all it is all tight, and the bearing seems fine too. Any advice would be great!

Im not sure about performance its the balance that would be the issue,you cant bend turbine blades back like on the compressor wheel as its a harder more brittle metal.Tbh theres probably worse on cars without the owners even knowing whether or not they would be happy with it i dont know?

Yeah, that's it. I cant see why it would be a problem really. The rotor will still spin fine..
