Damaged compressor wheel

Hey guys,

I replaces my own turbo with no past experience on my 5.
It was slightly out of place and the compressor wheel has caught the inside of the housing.
Some of the blades are now bent and damaged. Took it to a local tuner and he's told me its ****ed.

I'm trying to weigh up my options here.

I could replace the wheel with a new one but would this require rebalancing?

Buy a 20g conversion kit.

Could I just slap this bad boy on?

Don't know where to go with this one. Any advice please?

Cheers
