i see a crack on it too, on the upper portion of the flapper opening in the first closeup

 

yeah, i see it too. sorry guys, not for sale then. dont want to sell a "damaged/as is" part even if it works fine

 

You're really not going to sell it??? I still want to check it out...

 

do the common vf39 wastegate cracks really harm anyhting?

 

Almost, if not ALL VF-39s have the wastegate crack. However, many people consiously know about it and still buy them as if nothing is wrong with them. AFAIK, it doesn't hurt performance in any way, and IMHO there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a defect that came with the STi turbo.

 

yeah, thats what i have heard...i just dont really like to sell stuff in not great condition...gettin lowballed now. since it works perfectly fine, i will take 300 FIRM. if not i keep it incase i go back to stock or i can talk the fiance into a wrx.

 

^ i second jeff's opinion about the wastegate crack. that crack shouldnt affect the performance

 

+3 on the wastegate crack not affecting performance at all. forced is still offering a good deal

 

For anyone wondering about the crack there is a discussion going on here:

It seems like all the VF39s develope this crack, but it can cause problems

 

I disagree. $300-$400 is the average price for a used, non-cracked vf39. Yes, it will work fine...but why pay the same amount for a cracked one?

Forced, Im going to pass on this.

 

dibs! lol

 

Bump and up for sale again

 

bump

 

bump, stock injectors and pump for sale too

 

Bump for a good guy.

There should be no problem with these "cracked" turbos. If these are running on sti's with no ill affects then there should be no problem with them on other cars.
