Default damn, lucky I saw this crack befor my turbo blows up

look at this crack, the exhaust wheel touched the housing already. I took the turbo appart cause I wanted to move the housings to dismount the turbo from manifold and then I saw this ****. Ben, hurry up with the housing

happend after 35000km of hardcore track driving where the turbo shines red all the time
