The crack will get worse, it will sound like ----, turbo won't spool as fast, it can make the car run like *** if the crack is big enough.

Put a piece of bubbalicious gum over it. It'll be fine, but it has to be bubbalicious.
On a serious note though, you will leak exhaust gas, which will result in slower, less fierce (for lack of a better word) spool ups.
Weld it up!

Nice!

Yes it was a depressing day were I got pissed off and welded my adaptor plate directly to my 14b. Nothing like welding cast with a 50yr old ARC welder and 6013 rod!!!! No Pre-heat, just hot and thick beads, not cracks or problems 2yr latter!!
