FYI there are whole bunch of china turbo thats made with the turbonetic "T" becasue they are making exact copy of the turbonetics without knowing, and ****, yours is def.ly one of them.
Since they can not sell them as turbonetic, they are all being sold a regular turbo and once the buyer recvie them they are like "wow" LOL and will prob.ly try to re-sell them as the real turbonetics.
The compressor housing is not going to crack because the "glue up" one are no more. they are all casted and welded now. And a lot of time these turbo fail becasue the bearing is not oil'ed enough/at all when they are made, so they get killed a lot on firts start up. what u should do is to stick something into the fins to stop it from spinning, start it up, let it prime for a WHILE then hope it last.
