www.htturbo.com sells both stock HX35 wheels and upgraded wheel/housing combos. I think if you go with the Stage III you'll have to machine the center section to fit the larger exducer of the wheel, but call them to be sure.

running it like that will definitely hurt the turbo. what happens is the bent blade creates harmonic distortion, making the turbo run as if its off balance. that and dirty oil are the two biggest killers of turbos. the next killer is turbo over speed.

If you bent the blades, theres a good chance the shaft is bent too. I wouldn't just replace the compressor wheel, entire unit IMHO...
