But the area around where the wastegate shut,s. Is this norm? Also now that It is cracked (twins) opin any advice on things to do now that the turbos are out?? THANKS JOHN

When I do the rich mans mod ,I see cracks in most all of the wastegate seats . I weld all cracks before porting and reshaping the castings

But if you can't get it welded, it will still run fine and you can still port it.
