Default Compressor wheel

HI all, I sent my Ram 1000 in to get new bearings and balancing, as their was a slight vibration at 60 tho.
Was told before the work was started at the compressor wheel looked like it might cause the turbine to cavatate.
Bearing where put in and when the turbine was ran to over 100tho, it cavated and the compressor let go.
The purpose of this tread, is to find another compressor and see if any one else has ever seen a compressor wheel let go like this one.
