What you mean crackin? The rotor housing on a 7 shouldn't crack either.

I know a lot of people that have turbo N/As and never had any problems with the rotors or housings. Now the apex seals thats a different story. The only way to mess up a rotor or the housing is to break a seal. You can do that even on a turbo engine with 3mm apex seals. I can't really think of any other way.
