Hey guys, just wondering if I should still put this on my car or get it welded then grinded?







I need some advice. Thanks.

if you can get in there drill a small hole at the end of the crack (make sure you clean it well and find the very end) to stop it going any further then bolt it back on

Ok, so I fixed it and installed it;



Now my concern is that the turbine wheel has 'too much clearance'.

Could there be such a thing?

It's a Stage 3 wheel, .63 A/R back housing.

From a professional point of view,that housing is beyond repair, as it has cracked at the divider and should be thrown out. The crack will grow with heat and expansion and your tolerances will be out of whack to spool the turbo properly.

If you can't find a replacement, see how you go and run it till it stops. :-)

what sort of clearance have you got from the turbine blades to the housing?

It seems like I used the wrong housing.. I think it's a stage V housing. I have a stage III wheel.

Can it still work? What are the drawbacks?
