How many cracks on the hot side are too many cracks?

I have a 7cm2 hot side on my turbo and I am in the process of making a decision as to whether or not to send the turbo off for rebuild, rebuild it, or just get another one.

Looking inside the hot side, there are a few cracks that don't extend to the outside.

How do I know how many are too many? From my searches, cracks are perfectly normal due to heat cycles.

Thanks for any thoughts
 
I had two got rid of it and grabbed a fp manifold, too many is too many for my taste dont know if there is a certain limit of cracks.
 
As long as they don't go all the way through it is fine. However, they will get worse. But if they are minor, I would not worry about them.

The cracks that I have are nothing like that at all.

Thanks for all of your thoughts.
