should I port my turbo?

Should I port the divided part of the turbo(turbo/manifold side) into a single opening? Right now that part has some cracks in the middle of the "division" is why I ask. Thanks.

We talking S4 turbo here?
I ported mine so that both openings were the same size and I knifeedged the middle bit and made all the other bits nice and smooth.. Dunno what difference it made because I have nothing to compare it to

This is on a custom manifold aswell, dunno what benifits you'd get one a standard one, I guess the same if you removed the twin scroll crap.

I think you should not wast your time with that paper weight, save some money and buy a real turbo!

Did you get your FMIC from Mike @ boosthard?

Well this is on a stock S4 hybrid. It has a T04B compressor housing, compressor wheel and p-trim turbine wheel with a 360º thrust bearing. Turbonetics built it and said it was good for 425HP(I am thinking flywheel), but I'll be happy with like 320rwhp or more(the more the better obviously).
