    I'm looking into buying this vf48 from someone for 300. What im worried about is the crack that looks like it almost reaches the wheel. would it be worth it or should i stay away. The guy also told me that since i run external wastegate that i should be fine. thoughts?

    Wait for the resident experts chime in. I wouldn't touch it. I don't have that high of a risk tolerance.

    would you consider it a good deal for the condition? and is it true about the external waste gate with cracked trubo? no shaft play and 30k on it
