potentially you can 3d print Inconel and make waste gates. they 3d print turbineplades for jets.
however from my experience they will be much more expensive than cast ones if done in some small volume.

Not without engineering substantiation. Depending on the part and the criticality of that part it can be a minor or a major change. If it's a major, that's a full blown FAA cert project.
