The turbine housing can develop cracks due to heat.  Most of the cracks develop in the center divider, which you don't have to worry about too much.  If the cracks develop on the outside edge of the flange, then make sure they don't create a significant exhaust gas leak.  Any cracks on the flange can cause areas that cannot be sealed with a gasket.
