i dont think i made the manifold spacer long enough. the turbo hits where the BAC was, by like 2mm . im pissed. im going to have to like, double up on manifold to turbo gaskets, or jsut like, cut a thick one out of copper. grrrr. oh, i got my fuel pump in 2 minutes ago, all the rusty screws came out with just a hammer and screwdriver, sept 2. has to drill those. cool.

k-rok

 

what is hitting? the cold side compressor housing? if that is what is hitting you can loosen the mounting bolts and twist the housing for more clearance.

 

hmm, thats a good idea, that may work. thanks man ill try that.

 

I think you mean it's hitting the ACV, which they tend to do, even with a spacer. You can't use 3 bolts in the ACV block-off, or if you do it has to have an awful small head, plus you might have to grind a corner of the ACV block-off plate down, or grind away some of the metal that's hitting it on the turbo.
