Hi, I have a VF35 turbo with a crack on the wastegate. Is this ok to use or am I just asking for trouble?

Thanks

Crack is right hand side of the wastegate.

send these some pictures to see what they say, they have repaired a friends block before and had no problems with it after.

A lot of vf 30/35 seem to have cracks and some people reckon there ok to use,heres one for sale with a good housing apparently but fins and bearings gone.

So would this be a simple job to do or would a specialist be needed?

fairly simple yes but you need need to check that dosnt have any cracks 1st.

As above its pretty simple you don't need a specialist as your only removing the housing and not the compressor/turbine wheels so no balancing is needed.

Thanks for the input but I've decided its not for me, so I'm on the look out for a good vf34

It should be as simple as weld and grind it flush, shouldn't it?

Cheers I'll take a look at the bay!

Welding cast doesn't sound tempting neither does grinding, I wouldn't want to risk it. Cheers
