Pulled turbo/mani off of car, has internal cracks but I'm not sure if this is an issue since I plan on getting it ported. Interested in peoples thoughts.

Next one

Those cracks are bad, and will prove to be a terminal illness for that exhaust housing. Throw it away and find a different, uncracked exhaust housing.

Bah, mine were like that, port it out, and turn that bish's boost up.

Eventually it will be a major issue, but it should live for a while like that.

Thats fairly common, 14Bs usually have some cracking like that. Port it out and throw it back on.

That looks new compared to my old one.

Mine looked somewhat similar to that before porting. However, I just purchased a 7cm housing and took my old one off to find that the crack had actually grown all the way through the wastegate passage and into the turbine area. There was a small deposit of metal at the end of the crack that was INCREDIBLY close to the turbine blades. I guarentee that if I would have driven for another month I would be buying a new turbo! I would purchase a 7cm housing and port that, its cheap insurance... unless you want to buy a new turbo!

Thanks for the feedback fellas.
