BNR 3 - S5 LIM - Its hitting the LIM WTF MATE!??!?!

So, I have the BNR 3 done on a S4 turbo.

The compressor housing is hitting my LIM.

It hits (looking at the pass side of teh engine) better the front runner and the runner to the left of that.

There seems to be a lot of aluminum there in the LIM. I am guessing the only option is to mill it out so the compressor fits?

Yeah, I searched and like usual...nobody has problems like I do

The clocking created no problems for my Greddy FMIC kit.

Yey!
