Got the turbo from dejonpowerhouse.com and they is like a small nick in it,i put a pin in it and it barely goes in, will this harm anything?
The last 3 pic look worse then it really is.

agreed. I'd send that housing back and get a new one. WTF

As long as the hole doesn't go all the way through it will be fine.

If your real worried you could put a dab of JBweld on it.

In the last picture is that 3 separate cracks on the housing???? If so then the sucker back.

Just marks from the casting.

I know them as "casting veins". My 5031 came with 3 large veins and they really shouldn't be of any concern. I definitely wouldn't be worried about that small nick, but I would recommend at least writing an e-mail to dejon to let them know of the problem and see if there is a resolution. At least if the Comp housing starts taking a crap in 6 months, you will be able to have some sort of written backup that you have mentioned it to them already.

I just talked to Dave from dejon and he said i would have to deal with PTE, so we'll see how it goes, blcknspooln you ready to install this bad boy, just waiting for the oil lines and wg.

Have them send you a pretty polished compressor cover for your troubles.

Agreed. My 5031 has the casting flash as well. Doesn't seem right that we pay 1k for a part that they wouldn't take a few minutes to grind down to make it look more presentable; but I really don't notice it when its installed.

Yep. Mine had about 6 noticable 'veins', and a bunch of little ones...

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

the guys posting are correct. they are just casting imperfections. i wouldn't worry about it.
