The turbo hits the LIM...you usually need a spacer to push the turbo out further.

Or you can use the not faverable non divided on-center turbine. You'll negate the entire reason for going with a divided manifold unless your buying it strictly for "bling" value or cannot afford a higher quality propper fitting manifold. FWIW, you could just buy the SSAuto FC manifold and no have to mod anything or use the crappy on-center turbine, but thats up to you if you've read up on these cheap manifolds.

so the use of a spacer at the mani to motor joint would make it clear? the 1st gen guys use the same idea to make a stock s4 mani fit a 12a and clear the intake mani.

racing beat makes header flanges for the 13b, thats what they use for the spacer. i think ill order one and see what its gonna take. if it can be done thn im gonna try. i dont like the log undivided style ones.

i want a divided mani and the only other ones i can find are LOTS more. www.rx3mist.com makes custom ones for $350 with a undivided flange. i bet he will make a divided one but im sure it will cost more.

ebay it is.

The spacer should work, though I'm not sure how thick it will have to be to clear the LIM. Its a fine line because then hitting the framerail becomes an issue apparently. You might be better off just buying the FC manifold.

I'm pretty sure a spacer will not be enough if you plan on using a turbine housing bigger then a 0.84 A/R.If that's the case you will have to rework the T4 flange at a different angle.
