Never had a turbo car before, am I cooked?

Got this car recently, it’s an automatic 2014 2.0t premium, 108k miles, no mods from what I can see. I was driving just fine for the first few days until a few days ago when I noticed a loud whistling sound when the boost gauge would hit 0. Nothing out of the ordinary before or after boost but right when the turbo starts spooling up it would whistle/whine. No changes in performance, no CEL, nothing weird besides that noise. I checked around the engine bay and noticed the snorkel that goes to the air box was totally loose. Got some retainers for it and the whistling stopped BUT today when I went to turn it on the whistle became a rattle and now it makes no boost. I took off the intake to check the turbo for play. No axial play but there is a little bit of radial play (maybe a mm or two, it does not touch the housing)
Are the fins damaged here? I don’t know what they’re supposed to look like but my gut says this looks off. Any ideas?

Update: got a replacement turbo going in today. The difference between both compressors was night and day, I just didn’t know what I should be looking at. All the examples of bad turbos I could find online have absolutely catastrophic levels of damage which led me to wonder if my issue wasn’t “that bad” but I see now that there’s not really a range for the tolerances allowed, it’s kinda just a pass/fail deal. Thank you so much to those who replied 🙏🏼
