Turbo cracks

Hi guys,
I finnaly blew my secondary turbo so now I can put new turbos on (I have two extra sets lying around). And I was taking the one with the least shaft play apart to port it when i noticed a big crack between the wastegate hole and the turbine hole. So I took the other set apart and they had the same crack and I was wondering if this was something I should be worried about or if theres a way to fix it.
Thanks for your help guys.

Those are pretty normal. Ditto for cracks around the part of the turbo manifold facing the engine. Cracks have to get pretty extreme before they affect turbo function and performance.

Those are fine. The only time that cracks are a problem are when they go under a gasket sealing surface, which can blow a gasket out. Besides that, it's just cosmetic.
