Default Bad Turbo? Oil leaking out (PICS)

So i noticed some oil coming out of the intake side of the turbo. I took the compressor side off and noticed that the turbo wheel has 2 cracks in it. Is this a dead beat turbo or can i still use it some how. Im thinking this is why i have oil coming out or it. Im als running a Function 7 oil restrictor. Also with my oil return line do you think it is better to leave it clocked the way it is or should i clock it so i can get a better down hill flow. Not sure if its going to damage the turbo when its not clocked 100% up and down. Thanks for your help in advance. Peter

gee, my flywheel is cracked, do you think it will be okay at 10k rpm's?

---- no. you're fucked, need new seals, maybe bearings, and a whole new turbo.

better yet, sisal rope makes the best nooses. natural stretch to the rope, best choice in your case

Your circles kinda hide what I wanna see, but if the wheel is damaged and oil was leaking ou tthere I would straight out go ahead and replace the turbo with a fresh one or rebuild that one if you can wait

My ssac one leaked on me after a short short while, no damage though, just oil coming through the compressor side

Yeah i could replace it no problem im just not really sure if the oil is coming out cuz of the cracks. Im just wondering maybe i have to much oil pressure coming in but i do have that restrictor or maybe my return line is backing up. But if oil will come out because of the wheel then i will defenitly get a different turbo. Theres really no shaft play.
