blew the weld again

So I posted a while ago about my turbo being extra laggy and then found out that I had blown the weld in my o2 housing. I've got an external wg on my manifold which allows for the top hole in the o2 housing to be welded. Anyways, I had that rewelded after I blew it the first time, and I think I've blown it again. I haven't yet pulled the turbo and taken everything out to make sure because I am way too lazy and don't want to. I also don't see the reason considering that has to be the problem. My only question is, should I just have it rewelded again or what? I mean I dont have the time or money to keep rewelding this stupid thing. What are you other externally gated guys doing? I've had a few ideas, lmk what you guys think.

-Fill the whole with melted steel and let it harden inside so it's thicker than just an 1/8 inch steel plate.

-lse has a 02 housing they sell that is just one big opening, but idk if that would work with an external wg.

Here's a pic of what it looked like before and what I assume it looks like again now.
