Cracks in td05 exhaust housing

[ryztriumph]

Are these cracks anything worth worrying about? Will be installing 14b turbo in a few days. I also am planning on porting out the exhaust housing a little while it is still off the car.

Looks rough. Not sure I would even port it in that shape.

That's very common with the old turbos man it won't cause any problems unless it's cracked all the way through to the outside of the turbine housing.

These turbos are almost 20 years old gotta remember. But it looks like a completely normal used mhi turbo to me.

I'd run it as-is or sell it and find a better housing to port.

Actually, with the 2014 model year approaching most 14B's are at least 20 years old with some being as old as 24 years. I think they've done quite well.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess that I will just run it as it is for now. I did come across a bunch of cracked turbos threads, I just wanted a second opinion on the cracks in the turbo in my possession.

Thanks!
