Cracked Wastegate Port!!!

[chrisgarza]

Ok guys I am doing a pretty heavy rebuild on my 1998 GST. After a tear down and clean up I found a small crack in the wastegate flapper port. It is about 1/2" Long and does go all the way through to the outside of the housing. From what I have read this will effect my spool pretty bad. The car was holding boost and no noticeable creep before tear down. I found this one on ebay for $100. Not to happy about the VHT paint on the internals but I could clean it off. What do you guys think? Below is a list of current or purchased parts waiting for install.

That's an aftermarket Taiwan-made housing like those used on the GT Concepts "Evo III GT".

MHI Evo III turbine housings are high-nickel and will NOT crack. Ever. They do like to eat bolts, however.
