wastegate flapper swap question.
I am doing the non sequential conversion on my car. I swapped the stock flapper for the bigger one. I had to grind off the welds on the waste gate flapper sleeve and cut down the sleeve so that the bigger flapper can fit.
Is this "sleeve cutting" a normal procedure when doing the swap? I couldn't find any other way to making it fit with out grinding the turbine housing lip.

you can just grind a little off the side and it fits fine, then hog it out like crazy. I still got boost creep with full 3in exhaust though, had to add a silencer to get it under controll

I had to grind off a little of the turbine housing lip but most importantly i had to cut the sleeve and make it shorter for the flapper sit right.
the stock flapper.To the right of the flapper you can see the space i had to eliminate.
the bigger flapper with the sleeve cut. minimal space
to the right of the picture is the stock sleeve . to the left is the cut down version.
Has anyone done this?
