upgrade turbo

after discovering a cracked exhaust manifold on my 10ae i was wondering if it would be worth the turbo upgrade while it was all taken apart. not to mention the turbo has a hairline crack on it as well. would i have to upgrade the fuel system as well in conjunction with the turbo upgrade? whats the code/name of the stock 88 turbo?

Most internal cracks are harmless.
I'd just smooth off the internal edges & port the waste gate if you haven't already.

How bad do you want to start spending on the upgrade daisy chain?

It sounds like it's asking you for an S5 manifold & turbo.
