Rusty,
I swapped out the exhaust inserts on my 20B with turbo inserts. I tried every different method but the pins would not cooperate. So, I decided to sacrifice the stock inserts and ground through from the port side where the pins are located, then I drove the pins on through with a drift punch. Worked fine. Mark S.

Rusty,
I removed the splitters from my Cosmo housings. They are held by two very
hard roll pins. I started with smaller drill inside the pin and gradually go
bigger bits until the pin spins out. It ainšt easy.
Than I fitted NA inserts in place from old housings that I gut up on a band
saw to salvage the pins and te inserts.

Can you take NA housings, remove the splitter & get the same results?

The splitter is part of a steel insert that attaches to the rotor housing with
(I think) a couple roll pins. If I'm not mistaken you could probably swap
these inserts to install the turbo version without the splitter. From what
I've read, simply grinding out the splitter ain't simple :-)
