Small nick on 10.5 turbine housing. Will it be an issue?

I just recieved a 10.5 hotside from a member on here and it has a small nick on the mating surface where it meets the center section of the turbo. Is this going to result in an exhaust leak? Or will it be kosher?





TIA

i would say its fine, just make sure the metal doesnt protrude past the mating surface, if so, use a file to make it flush. thats not where it seals so you will be fine.

Should be fine, just make sure they can mate together tightly.
