LIM runner thickness?

Any idea how thick the runners are on the LIM? My custom twin project has hit a snag where the new turbine housings I ordered barely touch the lower intake manifold. I want to be sure that I wont have a problem so I slightly grinded the manifold runner down but Im not sure how much more I can go. Thanks in advance.

There's different thicknesses throughout the casting, and there's some areas (like the "box" around the EGR valve ) that have a lot of dead space behind it.

Do some grinding, take your time, and if you go to far, find a good used LIM. They shouldn't be that pricey to find used.
