gsl-se waterpump housing options
basically im doing a turbo 2 swap in my fb. ive bought a gsl-se front cover for the engine. it seems to me that the aluminum turbo 2 waterpump housing wont clear the front cover. anyone run into this before? with the amount of turbo fb's now i figured someone might know.
Thanks,
Matt

Sorry about the quality, the shop camera has seen better days.
Nothing a few minutes with a Dremel won't fix.
Here's a real easy way to do it:
- First, slide the WP on until it hits the front cover.
- Note the area it's impacting, then light a candle and pass the offending area over it a few times, getting soot on it.
- Refit the WP on the housing until it hits the cover. It will rub the soot off the WP in the area you need to grind.
- Clean soot off front cover, grind offending lug of waterpump a little.
- Repeat until it fits.
