Question Undivided 1.15 F1 68 housing?

I just got my new T78, F1 68 wheel turbo in today. I orderd it with the divided 1.15 AR housing. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I didn't take into account that my log header is just a 2.5'' OD pipe welded into a T4 flange. For some reason I thought the pipe was squaired, into the flange, but it's not. The 2.5'' pipe comes all the way up flush with the top of the flange and the divided housing isn't going to work Anyone know of a undivided 1.15/F1 68 housing that will fit that turbo?

Send me your manifold and I'll fix it!

You could just grind out the divider about a inch deep or so and knife edge it too.

I thought about that but, now the more I think about it the divided setup is a pice of **** unless you have a divided header setup. I don't like the idea of the air hitting that divider. I'd much rather let that 2.5'' pipe blow into the center of a open housing.

You could just buy a new housing or see if the shop you bought if from will switch with you.

Im going to see if I can exchange it and a little $ for a .96 open housing. I hate to buy a new one outright because It's new, and I had the 3.5'' V band flange welded to it. It's probably going to be expensive
