Assess my compressor wheel
I stumbled across this when I pulled off my intake and filter. It’s hard to tell but lookes like a crack starting to form. It’s a used GT2560r that I put on last year. It does have some in and out and side to side play but the wheel doesn’t hit. Anyway should I be concerned of this thing breaking off? And am I SOL if I have to buy a new turbo or can I source a new CHRA?
This is the only pic prior to install.

I don't really see any cracks? Are you talking about the 2 marks under the compressor nut at around 9 O'clock?
Those look more like indentations than cracks to me, but not certain from the pictures.

As a heads up, if it's a genuine Garrett turbo w/ all Garrett wheels, you can contact ATP Turbo and reference the "Ball bearing CHRA Exchange program" and for your old CHRA and $475 + shipping they'll send you a brand new CHRA. Garrett's website had lots of good information before they redid it, but it's useless and difficult to find now.
