My CT26 has a crack in the turbine housing that I noticed, what kind of problems would come from this and would the turbo need to be rebalanced if I replace it? I have a spare CT26 that I disected since it was siezed and came with my JDM engine. Ive tried searching for info on this but came up empty handed. Thanks.

Run it.
If the crack(s) are less than .5mm in width, run it.
Cracks in the turbine housing wastegate area will eventually cause the turbo to spool sluggishly and if the cracks become pieces of housing, the turbo will self destruct.
