I'm afraid incorrect terminology may have sent you off in the wrong direction. It's the turbine wheel that failed, not the compressor wheel. On each occasion the weld broke right at the base of the turbine wheel, the wheel came off and blocked the exhaust outlet.
Thanks for all the brain work. Very interesting stuff.
