Turbo Housing, Too Cracked to Use?

See Title, There are some hairline cracks and this one larger one that concerns me. Please have a look and tell me if its something to worry about. None of the cracks go all the way to the outside of the housing. There are also no cracks on the flanges.



same cracks, different view

Looks good to me. Here is my pic of a bad turbo housing.
This crack is what you CAN'T have.

Yeah that turbo had a ruined exhaust wheel and hotside.

I used parts off it to get another rebuilt.

The turbo guys said the middle cracks aren't that bad. They're from age.
