cracks in turbo exhaust housing

I pulled the turbo to port the wastegate and discovered a bunch of stress fractures in the wastegate area. They haven't gone all the way through, but it seems kinda sketchy to port the wastegate and reuse the housing.

Does anybody know where I could source a good condition exhaust housing? I already posted in the WTB section but I figured I'd be hard pressed to find someone to just sell me the hot side.

edit: S5 Kouki turbo
