Default Crack In Turbine Housing - Safe to use?!?

Hey H-T! Seeking the help of some turbo pros! I have a turbonetics t3/t4 t04e 57 trim turbo I bought cheap off ebay. Everything seems to be fine but under close inspection I noticed a really small hairline crack in the turbine housing on the side the bolts to the center housing.

My question is, will this be ok to use, or should it be replaced. It's possible under heavy use and high heat the crack will get worse. So that is why I ask for some opinions! thanks

After seeing that, you're fine. That's not even in the section that sees the most heat.
