If this doesn’t work out, you could join the K24 swap team. Third time is a charm, they say.
The layer lines create a fault point. If it was staying N/A I could most likely get away with it, but under boost may cause some issues. I may end up running it as a test for a bit while the car is still being built.

My old boss has a 5 axis CNC machine, so getting it milled shouldn't be an issue, just costly for such a large chunk of aluminum. Especially for a one off part. Though then if anyone else needed one, they could get it made pretty easy.
