scars in SC blades

I know this isnt normal. Car has 72k miles and i bought it with 52k. Within the first 5k miles k&n's were installed, so i believe this happened before i started driving the car. Good news is that it spins smooth. Also wondering if when changing the sc oil, does or should it be removed from the engine?

its somewhat normal if that makes sense. I've seen 5 blowers apart and they've all had some scratches but i've seen 1 blower that didn't have any but i don't know the mileage (just had a picture sent to me)

The tolerances are VERY tight so any garbage that finds its way in will leave its mark. If its turning smooth, making boost and no noise I'd disregard it besides evaluating the integrity of your air filtration system.

That's normal. I've seen a lot worse and still run fine.
