probably £300+
from what i have read the crack doesnt hinder performance at all. my old vf35 had a crack and that made 354bhp and was fine. i thought the vf48 was redesigned for the hatch so the cracks wouldnt happen or is that some bull**** ive read somewhere

Shouldn't make a difference to the price. Most of them develop this crack and it makes no difference to the turbo performance at all. Very common.
My VF48 was purchased with a crack like this and went on for years very strongly indeed without issue.
Gotta be £350 minimum for that turbo.

what bhp are these good for and would they be a worth while upgrade to a vf43 on a forged hawk running 350bhp?

fine initial cracks have little impact BUT if it eventually goes past the wastegate then it will bleed boost
