turbo spacer?

The turbo I purchased from vosko is a lot bigger and sits right on the lower intake manifold....this disturbs me....does anyone know of a spacer that would give the turbo a little mroe distance from the lower intake. I can't even put the heat shields on it with the way it sits....thanks.

Hmmmm... you could use a Racing Beat exhaust flange and an extra gasket. Maybe 2 if one is not enough.

You might also just try reclocking the turbo.

yeah, just slap a few flanges in the way, but that might get kinda expensive. Maybe make your own spacer out of sheet metal? why you putting heatshields on anyways? you think you could just use some heat wrap stuff? Ask vosko how he had it setup.... sorry, this post was kinda pointless.
