Cracked Turbine Housing 88 Mx-6 GT

[Chris O'Bryan]

While inspecting my parts before re-assembling the cylinder head (got hot b/c the wrong thermostat was used, but that's a story for another day), I noticed that my Turbine housing was cracked! I had noticed the coolant leaking and thought it may be the gasket. I went to my local IHI Turbo parts dealer and the turbine housing isn't available. Welding shops dont want to work on it and I have called all of the salvage/recyclers in my area. Thanks. I gone this far on my first big project and I don't want to stop. But I dont have the $1,600 for the "new" turbo

Any Ideas on where I could get a Turbine Housing or repair this one?

Thanks

Check the For Sale section, there's usually a few stock turbos for sale.

How cracked is it? Turbine housing for IHI RHB5 usually are cracked from the waste gate flap. I got a turbine housing.

I've got an old one I'd be willing to just give you for the price of shipping. It's just the hot side as I used the cold side myself. The housing is fine. I'd have to double check. It MAY have a crack near the wastegate, but as mentioned this is normal and as long as it doesn't leak, it's not a problem. Let me know dude. Mine is slated for the trash bin so if I can help you, it's all yours.
