Move your a/c lines that the housing is hitting. Pop the lines out of the clips, remove the clips, and push/bend the lines down and turn the housing as far as you can counter clockwise. (from the front of the car)

You can cut the output tube to get more clearance, make sure you have some sort of lip to keep the hose from popping off.

Ive installed this turbo kit many times..here are some pointers to gain clearance
1. Move A/C lines
2. Clock the compressor housing
3. Cut the outlet pipe


good luck!
