My compressor wheel was definately balanced..... but they removed the material from the outside diameter with what looks like endmill cuts. This was on both the original wheel and my HX40 wheel I put on. You can't see the cuts with the metal compressor housing on. I'd have a really close look at the wheel to make sure it didn't get chipped. If it did, where are the parts? I hope either in the intercooler (most likely) or stuck on the grid heater. New parts can be had cheap at high tech turbo: www.htturbo.com

Pretty much every turbo I've seen has had some balancing done. They grind on the nut on the exhaust end, too. My old turbo looked like half the nut was missing.

You can throw it out of balance.
