Hello turbo senpais
,
I recently bought this garret gt2560 as a part of a BEGi kit. When I got the turbo, I noticed a small hole/crack in the turbine housing. I contacted the seller, and was told that it is a manufacturing defect and not something to be worried about. Im hoping that some of you guys can give me your opinions... Is there anything that I can do to test if the turbo is still usable? Did I get bamboozled out of 850$?
Any feedback is appreciated!
And yes, I should have inspected the thing more carefully![vash](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/vash.gif)
