Turbine housing on 16g cracked..worth to replace it?

[FullthrottleGST]

I took off the turbo and the turbine inlet has some cracks on the inside and a lil crack on th wastegate area. Now, is it worth it to replace it with a new or used one, or should I just sell it the way it is? How much would it be worth in that condition (no shaftplay n such).

Thanks

It's pretty common to have some cracking. Do the cracks go all the way through or are they just on the surface? Can you post some pics?

It doesnt look too bad. I would just use it like that. As long as the wastage closes without having exhaust leak, your fine.

Since its already cracking and it doesnt look like it has far at all, id say just port that sucker wile you have it off porting it will remove those cracks.

Nice broken bolt, them basterds do that alot.

Port that thing out and you will get rid of most of the cracks.

If you are really worried about it you can get one of those monster housings that are cast with a high nickel content to reduce cracking.
