That looks like a usable housing. What does it look like down in the throat, that is where you will see any crack starting.

Look down into the throat where it blows in from the manifold and look at the inside of the waste gate hole. That is the killer on these. That crack spreads through the housing and out the waste gate.

No problems down the throat. All that you see are the casting marks (line visible) which are fine. You can see the wast gate has some porting, could go bigger still. Waste gate measures 0.704".

Nice hang on to that one.   A unicorn for sure. I found another one this past weekend. Opened it up and said oh boy this looks good. Then I got a look inside and there was that all to often rat crack running into the gate.
