Are these turbo cracks realistically repairable?
The first pictures looks pretty bad. If I'm not mistaken, the crack looks like it runs all the way inside. I would toss that and get a new one, or buy a decent shapes one for like 50-100 on the for sale section

It does indeed run all the way inside. The issue is, the housings on a '99 turbo are different to the earlier type, although I believe they are interchangeable.
I don't think the well defined shadow you see inside at the top is a crack is it?
If not then the cracks actually aren't that bad. the bottom one is nothing. I have seen and had much worse on my FD. I wouldn't worry about it. You might be able to find somebody willing to weld cast iron but it will just crack again pretty quickly. Run them.
