Found this today while I was working on my car. Not sure if I should worry about it to much, or if this is gonna wreck my turbo? In case you cant tell what the pic is of its my exhaust housing to my turbo, and some cracks that I found inside the exhaust housing. Let me know what yall think.

they arent bad at all. if you are ****, have it welded up and ground down, if not, keep running it and check it every oil change.

What turbo is that? It actually looks like parts of the casting have already broken off.

Looks like that might be a " hot spot " in the housing and that might be y it cracked , but if you are realy worried have it welded and ground down , but when cast iron gets hot the crack is going to shrink , depending on what turbo it is and how old it is might way if it is even worth messing with ,

Its a Drag Turbonetics turbo, believe its the T3/TO4E 57 trim. And it does look like some parts have broken off but the fins on the wheel still look fine?

Its an older turbo and I have never had a problem with it before, just a little something I noticed today while working on it. I dont really think its worth the trouble personally.
