Ground Zero Manifold and Y-Pipe FItment issues?

Got a friends ride who has EFINI Twins and a Ground Zero LIM.

The LIM was shaved to get the turbos to fit... and now the Y-Pipe is hitting the manifold.

Wondering if this is common, and if there is a common solution or some input on how to fix it?

Don't have pics, what I stated above is all I know right now.

Thanks

Well, the Groundzero LIM isn't designed for the stock twins AFAIK. You're gonna need to do some serious custom work to make it happen.

Just twist the turbo intake housings (both) away from the motor .They will slip under the snap ring that holds them together .I tap them with a light rubber hammer to clock them in .

So basically clock the front one a bit to the left, and the rear a bit to the right, correct?

use longer studs in the rotor housings, and a racing beat (or whatever) exhaust flange with a gasket on each side.
