trash it or keep it (turbo)

I got my turbo off today to install some heat shields. When I was looking at it I saw some cracks. They are not very big at all and they are not deep, but there are 4 total.

I have the yellow arrows pointing at them.



The pic isnt that good but you can still see.
What do you think.

Looks like normal cracking to me. No reason I can think of to ditch it.

Call a turbo rebuilder

Call a turbo rebuilder! I know it sound very obvious but they might be able to tell you what to do. Also is there any play in the turbin it self?? If yes than you will need a new turbo. I guess you can also try to sand the cracks down. <--- any one agree with this??

No, there is NO play in the turbine itself at all. But one thing, after I posted this, I was looking at the turbo and I noticed that on the back side where the exhaust side fan is, three of the 8 or 10 fins are just barely cracked on the tip. Is this normal wear also?
