S15 Garrett GT2560r doesn't fit with FM elbow
So I bought this used turbo, which has the divided turbine housing, and completely forgot the FM elbow has an extruded divider as well. I'm guessing my options are;
To remove one of the two dividers
Buy different turbo
Buy different elbow/downpipe
Trade for a similar elbow
Any thoughts

LOL custom fixture? you know mills traverse in X AND Y. You have to use both handles Josh. Once clamped in a vise and trued (a process which would have to happen regardless of whether the divider gets removed or not) its a 5 min job, maybe $20 for the whole thing.
And how much I charge for it has nothing to do with it being possible or what the customer asked for. You say you were a machinist, but this is like the 3rd time Ive corrected your incorrect info regarding machining on here, on pretty basic stuff at that (like mills go in x and y). Your either full of BS, or were a terrible machinist.

The local machine shop charged me $15 to mill that divider down. I ended up using my dremel and the one carbide bit from set for porting. Worked pretty good honestly, like 30 minutes, to do the path and a little on the wastegate hole. I did find two small cracks where the CHRA seats. Hopefully it will be okay for awhile.

Had the same Scenario
I was faced with the identical situation--Garrett S15 T28 with the FM DIY turbo kit. I just used my Dremel to cut the turbo outlet divider and then grind it down. I did not want to mess with my turbine. I was amazed how easy the cutting wheel took care of it. Best of all, the mating surfaces were completely flat, since the divider on the turbine does not come out all the way. Easy fix with what I already had. Cost--$0.
