I didn't have any issues getting my fluidyne to fit; if that helps. Others may/may not agree though.

Plus you could do the AST eliminator process. I don't have an AST on my single turbo. No worries on it splitting.

A lot of people have removed the AST and there are write up of what the processes is on-line.
