he said for series 6-8 he bought it for his s5 but doesnt fit for some reason. iv got a holset so ill be changing the flange anyway. i think maybe it would need to be modified to extend further towards the front of the car. maybe the srut tower is too close?

That "lower" wastegate pipe probably hits the frame thats why. It does look like it comes out quite a bit.

This is the issue I had with this design of a manifold before. But I have a vert and it hit the extra spacing on the bottom. It might need to be spaced out as well. But of course You can't really say for sure by looking at that pic.
