Small Crack by WG flapper

[OblivioAssebit]

I just bought a used turbo that needs to be rebuilt. After inspecting in closer I see that there is a small crack next to the wastegate flapper that goes all the way through to the other side. Is this going to cause a problem? I plan on going to an external Wastegate down the road but for now id like to make this work. Is it ok?

I've ran housings with worse cracks than that.

It's fine.

A lot of housings will have cracks around the wastegate over time. As long as the flapper is making a good seal it will be fine. If multiple cracks happen to the point where too much exhaust is passing the flapper then it's time to get something fixed.

Wow, I just posted almost the exact topic. Kinda funny.

That is nothing at all. I wouldn't worry about it, like others have suggested.
