Will the cracking at the wastegate hole get any worse? I have two small cracks that have developed on mine. I was also wondering if anyone has tried fixing the cracks before, since I am going to have trouble finding the right turbine housing. Thanks.

I don't think anyone here has had the cracking repaired. It's common on our T-25's and they probably will all crack(if they're not already cracked). I don't recall anyone specifically having an issue from the cracks though. There should be some old discussions here about the cracking...but I don't recall anyone posting about having it fixed...
