Default How bad are these cracks?
Hey, I just opened up my 14b turbo I recently purchased and I noticed some cracks. Will I still be able to use it or will the cracks get bigger?

Not a big deal at all, pretty normal. More important is where the wastegate flapper seals, big cracks will make it spool slow.
