help with turbos

i just took off my turbos and noticed the normal cracks in the secondary housing but i also noticed a crack all the way throug the middle of the two intake ports of the secondary housing. it is not a huge crack but it is all the way through. no my question is will this cause boost creep or damage to my turbos? i plan on replacing them in the next couple of years but for now i just got a new engine and i don't have the money for a new set right now. any advice will help. if anyone is selling a decent set of used turbos pm me please.

The bridge portion there always cracks. When it gets bad enough, you'll not spool or transition as quickly. You would probably be lucky to find a used set that didn't have the same thing. The most important thing is that there are no cracks out past the gasket area and that there isn't material actually missing.

And if you are looking for used turbos, please create a WTB thread in the classifieds forum. Thanks.
