RS2 Tubo cracked hot side

[Ryss]

My RS2 K24/7200 turbocharger was reconditioned some time ago and never refitted. Now I notice that there is a nasty crack in the hot side housing facing the turbine wheel.

Either I need to get a spare (used) hot side or I need to have the cracked welded by a professional who knows what he is doing.

Any thoughts would be appreciated as to success of repairs or any used spares that may be available.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, the majority crack on hot side and mine has 380,000 KM on. As long as it is not crack on the cold side you are fine.

They do have a tendency to crack on the hotside. If the crack doesn't go right through you could grind it out a little to ensure the fractured surface doesn't break off and hit the wheel. I think you will struggle to locate a used RS2 hotside without any cracks. I can take a picture of my spare and you can see how it compares to the crack in yours if that would help.
