Default t3 turbo wont accept .48 housing

have a couple of spare turbo's and wanted to build one good one up out of the stuff I have. basically I wanted to fit a .48housing to a stage 2 turbo I have but no matter whati do, there Is contact between the housing and the compressor. I fitted the .36 back on and theres no contact. am I wrong to think that all t3 turbo's should interchange, regarding the housings ect?

Yeah they should be interchangeable. Is there any carbon on the inside that's catching it?
