Re:Chipped/Broken Fin.
Is it on the car now? A chipped fin will throw off the balance. Remember that thing is spinning at like 60-100K rpms, any shift in its balance is going to throw off the harmonics. I'd replace the wheel if I were you and have it rebalanced.

Re:Chipped/Broken Fin.
^^^ agreed. I have ran chipped turbos, but it's not healthy. It will be off balance and probably won't last long.

Re:Chipped/Broken Fin.
Is there something I can do to fix the problem. Is there a Fin thing I can use from a diffrent one to make it better? I am new to turbos and am sorry if that is a dumb question. Thanks for the answers.

Well, you could replace the "fin thingy" but you will still need to get it balanced.
