Default vf43 exhaust housing crack :(

Hi guys I've just looked at the vf43 turbo which was taken off my scoob,I've noticed tonight that there's a hairline crack in the exhaust housing do I send it off to be refurbished or just look out for a second hand housing if they do appear?!? Who does refurbs if this is the only option and roughly how much? Cheers

They all crack in the exhaust housing, it is a common thing with the VF43 and the later VF48 from the Hatchback STi.

It does not effect performance in the slightest, I sold my VF48 recently and it had a minor crack but I was 100% confident in declaring the crack when I sold it and I know it won't effect performance.

My VF48 has the same housing crack and it's performed faultlessly. Just fit & ignore!
