I'm not exactly sure what a Gen 2 is, but on my Turbinator from Boomerang-RC, I opened up the motor cover plate quite a bit due the fact that I have a JetCentral Cheetah (35lb thrust) mounted back there!
(Yes, more thrust than needed, but the turbine was purchased for a Krill Avanti and ended up in the Turbinator first)
No issues modifying the cover plate.
