Default Cracked turbo!!

after a heavy throttle evening last night!! ive noticed a 40mm line right round the side of my tt38!! sh*t!
It look like a a casting mark but i 90% sure it wasn't like that when i got a week ago!! What shall i do it doesn't appear to have soot coming out.. is there other ways to to test the crack... do crack often lose boost? whats the cause because my t34 cracked as well! unfortuatly i'm only running 1.7 bar because it get set up on the 16th, so ive been playing it safe so i don't know if it will leak at full boost!!! i'm in a bit of a dilema because if it goes on the rollers and leaks and i don't acheive 450hp, £250 down the drain!

how much is a new 63 housing?

Can the tuner bodge it on the day just to set it up then i replace it after?

cheers guys
