It works but I would say it's not optimal. Brian at BNR (near you) ran my TD07 like that in his FC. Maybe give him a call and ask him what he though of it.

It works, but is not optimal would be correct. I run a P-trim 1.15 divided on a side ported motor with an undivided South Florida Performance manifold with no probs.

I am running a .96 undivided housing on a divided mani.
Not optimal but I doubt U could tell much difference with the boost cranked up.

I orderd a new .96 divided and the undivided showed up.

Almost ALL Supras run a divided manifold, and an undivided hot side, go figure.

Maybe you can "knife edge" the divider? Or maybe that woulden't be a good idea if it got too hot, melted and went through the turbo?

Running a divided T78 turbine side with an undivided manifold. I'd like boost to come on a bit sooner. Other than that, no probs but switching to a ball bearing turbo, divided, in a week or so.

Yeah me and Bryan (BNR) discussed knife edging the divider, he said he could smooth it down so there would be no piceces tha could cause damage to the turbo.
