    But now i have found a crack running across the waste gate valve seat. :eek: should i buy another housing?
    It seems from the reading i have done, its quite common and people just ignore it and bolt the cracked housing back on. [TIS]
    what do you reckon??

    Probably the wrong advice, but I've seen plenty of housings cracked like that. And they've all been reused with no ill effect. Providing the cracks not spreading (imagine spider legs), I would run it.

    Yes its the Common place for housings to crack .

    If you didn't see it you wouldn't know about it .

    I would fit a new/another exhaust housing. If they are stock turbos, there are plenty of disused housing around.
