while I wouldn't rule out a foreign object hitting the blades...
overspinning can be caused by boost leaks or a bad wastegate. Are only the cold-side blades damaged? What do the exhaust-side blades look like?

Exhaust side or compressor?
Overspinning can be caused by a boost leak and the turbo trying to overcome the losses or by the software not dropping requested boost sufficiently in the upper revs.

1st thank for chatting cause I am freaking,,no damage to the exhaust side,,,,
the reason we opened the car up is because of the wastegate actuator, the rod had a lot of play, we figured it had gone south. but looking at the blades, they seriously look shreaded (very rough and shiney) not melted or bent but I wish someone could tell me how an object could have gotten in there other then someone putting it in there.
