Need some advice here, can get this damaged T2 for peanuts, was considering replacing the inners for a hybrid but those cracks on the wastegate seating are quite big. Do you guys see it as usable? Thanks for any help.

 

Dont use it ,buy new, no point of old unit(specially with that crack) since there are much better to get these days

 

You mean a new T2 or any bolt on replacement? I don't want to go the T3 conversion route, but for the future a hybrid or any bolt on replacement (T25?) that fits in there with no further mods would sure be nice. Will soon be ditching the EECIV in favor of a Megasquirt or similar, so any option is really open as long as the turbo fits directly with no further changes.
