I stumbled across this when I pulled off my intake and filter. It’s hard to tell but lookes like a crack starting to form. It’s a used GT2560r that I put on last year. It does have some in and out and side to side play but the wheel doesn’t hit. Anyway should I be concerned of this thing breaking off? And am I SOL if I have to buy a new turbo or can I source a new CHRA?
I don't really see any cracks? Are you talking about the 2 marks under the compressor nut at around 9 O'clock?
Those look more like indentations than cracks to me, but not certain from the pictures.
Yeah maybe it’s just from balancing but it’s weird I never noticed it before. I ran a small scribe across the blade surface and couldn’t really feel any cracks. Do you know roughly how much in and out play is normal?

As a heads up, if it's a genuine Garrett turbo w/ all Garrett wheels, you can contact ATP Turbo and reference the "Ball bearing CHRA Exchange program" and for your old CHRA and $475 + shipping they'll send you a brand new CHRA. Garrett's website had lots of good information before they redid it, but it's useless and difficult to find now.

When the day comes I’ll definitely take advantage of that since new CHRAs are around $600-$700 without an exchange, thanks!
