89-91 Turbo flange?
Greetings,
I'm installing an 89-91 turbo on an engine with an aftermarket intake manifold. Unfortunately, the turbo hits the side of the intake before it seats on the exhaust manifold.
What I need, is a spacer to put between the exhaust manifold, and the turbo, to move the turbo about 1" farther away from the engine. Where could I find such a spacer? I've looked around online, and even called a few places, but nobody has heard of one. I guess I'm hoping that someone makes a flange that would be used to make a custom manifold. I've even seen pictures of one somewhere, so someone must be able to supply them. Worst case, I can always have a machine shop make what I need.
Thanks for any suggestions,

Mazdatrix.com sells the needed flanges. Either make your own spacer or have one made.
