Probably could just use some jb weld on it.. If it was another housing I would say to get it welded or replaced.. What type of turbo is this?

u sure is the compressor housing???
usually the cracks are on the hot side wich is turbine housing
if it the turbine, u will have to heat the housing up to 400 deg, keep it there for 15 minutes, and weld it fast and well done while is hot, and after welding keep it on that temperature, and decrese the temps in small increments for the next 12 hrs
that way u allow the welds to cure, and not crack more or come off when u beat hot and cold everyday the weld and housing
if its the compressor, they are usually aluminum, just find someone local that can weld aluminum and do it right
