Sounds like someone didn't properly weld the turbine housing discharge ring, and maybe you have a lot of pre stress on it. Usually the welds at the downpipe crack first though... Might have to just buy a new turbine housing..

If they don't, we have them in stock ready to ship. T4 1.0 divided, with a 3" vband is the best size for the compressor for 95% of people.

I've seen it before. more rigid exhaust hangers can help prevent this.

Cool

This happen to my friends Master Turbo T70.
His problem was due to the downpipe and midpipe, being supported only by the muffler hangers.
The exhaust system weighted too much for the flange and it cracked.
He had a shop weld it, but had to be redone, since the V-band would not fit.
In the end, it was fixed, but the welds look like a monkey took a crap on it. LOL
