Vf39 hairline cracks a real concern?
Just reading some threads in case the td04 goes bad,..
But is the vf39 housing cracks as bad as the td04 wheel going bad and not worth picking up as a replacement?
Wndering what would be a good cheap replacement as ive read the vf34 would be more reliable,...
Your opinions?

From what I hear, those cracks are common.
As for going with the 34, it really depends on what your goals are, in addition to your budget. If you have the budget, there are better turbos out there, as a replacement.

there are gains on a cracked turbo? how does that make sense? my vf39 had a hairline crack in it and i right away felt the loss in torque...
i'd say go with an 18g of vf34. after the vf39 i had.. i dropped in a vf34 and got that tuned as well.. great reliable power no cracks.
