what would you do clearence

I have a slight problem, My compressor housing hits the LIM= lower intake manifold I am off by about an 1/8th. I grinded the compressor housing a bit as well.

My question is do I gind the LIM a bit to create clearence OR can i use more than one exhaust gasket to achieve the same clearence?

Now sure its wise to do either but I need some help here

ha, I know what you've been through. I just cut the lim also, but the empty pocket under the front rotor is an exhaust passage. you can fill it up and cut it out if needed. (Assuming you did emissions delete) If not spacer.

You could also just clock the compressor slightly differently to get the clearance you want. A few degrees of movement will probably not interfere with whatever intercooler piping you're using.
