Default Opinions on Bent wicked wheel and Turbo master waste gate

Hi. As u can see I'm a newbie. Or as we call them at work the FNG. I have a 2002 f250. So far I have the edge juice with attitude, 5" straight back exhaust "4 inch pipe off the turbo then turns to 5" k&n open air filter and that's it. Here's the situation. My friend sold his truck " same as mine"to a guy said he'd buy it if it didn't whistle so loud. Him and i put a wicked wheel on it prior to this. So we took it off so the guy would buy it. To thank me my friend gave me the wheel and a brand new turbo master waste gate. But my dumb a** dropped it and bent two of the fins. I straightened one just fine. But one is pretty straight. Not as much as I'd like. Now the questions. Will it b ok to still use that wheel and, will this waste gate controller put me back to where my boost is now and then some?

I wouldn't use it. The fins are now much weaker than they were originally, since they've been yielded... and then yielded again. The balance will also be off. I'd pretty much consider that one scrap myself.

He gave you a wastegate or a wastegate controller? I'm confused...
