It's normal. I'm not sure I've ever had a junkyard turbo without the crack. It could possibly leak exhaust pressure into the downpipe without spinning the wheel, but it's only going to take .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000009 off your boost threshold.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA... Will the Stock Ls hold up ok with 10 psi with that turbo ... its a lil big for the stock internals ist it ?
