I have never heard of an A.T.I. blower, do you have anymore info on it.
Sorry I couldn't help.

Your impellar twisted?, immmmpossible, the tolerances between the impellar and the casing are like within .010" which is like 4 human hairs, if the impellar twisted  you would definately hear some metal to metal rubbing.
AS for your pressure drop, have you checked everywhere for leaks? including the plumbing for your boost gauge(I'm assuming you have one)?

if it's got a broken blade, then buy a new impellar, and get a rebuild kit while you're at it (might as well rebuild it if you're going to open it up)
