Post by: sdwarf36 on March 10, 2010, 08:23:18 pm

I tore down the turbo I was gonna use-after cleaning I found this crack.Is this bad enough to wory about?(http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/46922/2843915070064449971S425x425Q85.jpg) (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2843915070064449971PNileA)
 
Also-is this a T3? there is a marking "M4" cast into the housing-also ".36" on the inside.(http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/46297/2696673320064449971S425x425Q85.jpg) (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2696673320064449971ZxKAPl)

Don't know about the crack but I know that flange doesn't look anything like the normal T3's.

It came attached to an aftermarket exhaust header-bolts up to the 4 outer bolts. It gives the room to run a gasser intake. Not so worried what it originally came from -just want to make sure i order the right rebuild kit. So no-one is worried about the crack?
