No more turbo project for me folks two days ago(day after i bought it) found cracks with a flashlight internaly in the turbo and around the seal were the actuator opens that little flap. So back to building suspension and gettin the super mesh's lol

Are they full cracks, or just stress lines. Most turbos have what look like cracks in the casting but it is really no issue.

EDIT: Grab some up close shots if you can.

cracks around the wastegate flapper is a sure fire way to overboost

It was cracked pretty good, all the way through the housing. It would of definitely leaked. I still think you should slowly aquire parts for the turbo jerry.
