Got e-bay turbo apart, lots of cracks, saveable?
Here are pics of the turbine housing from a mitsubishi 13g turbo. I got it apart tonite and this is what i found. Lots and Lots of cracks. The cracks inside the outlet bore look more like some kind of melt down. I dont see how this happened without damaging the turbine wheel bit it looked ok. My question is, is this housing worth using, can it possibly be welded and machined and still work? (im a machinist so that would be free to do) Or am i going to have to spend the 200$ and buy a new turbine housing?
