turbo manifold question

if you have a series 5 turbo, and the turbo manifold thing...the REAL ******* heavy piece...its like cast iron or something...

if that has 2 VERY small cracks..like almost unnoticable...is it still usuable??

like how much wear would you allow on it before you would not put it into your car??

Just reuse it - 99% of all cracks that develop on the turbo exhaust manifold and the turbo turbine housing do not affect performance or reliability.
