Hks cast manifold FD

I just got my twins off. I had some kind of coolant leaking. Turbos boosted great but I figured it's time to go single.

Got the hks manifold on the car and went to put my BW s366 on and it hit the strut area. I did a little hammering on the strut area for the turbine side to fit and got it to slid in but tight.
But the compressor won't fit because it's hitting the intake at about 1 inch clearance needed.

What turbo options do I have for this manifold ?
Gt35,, t04, t67, t76 , trying to stick with a journal bearing. I don't need anything crazy but looking for SUB 500, 400 would be ok as well. Looking. For 14 psi.

I have a standalone. 850cc primary and 1680 secondary but could always upgrade secondary to 2000 if needed.

Yes that's the one

. I seen it was on his with a gt35. I assume that's a gt3582.
Is the gt35 the same size as a t04z? Which ones bigger ?

I'm not a wiz on turbos. I only want to make over 350 and ideally more. lag doesn't matter to me as long as it has some boost by 3500 ish. I do have a 4.30 rear diff so that helps some.
My Borg s366 just don't fit with this manifold. So I'm using it on my Cosmo instead

The air works s300 compressor housing is massive. The sxe housing is more compact. Post pictures and recommendations can be made

A G35 or GTX35 should make that power happily, GTW38 is the modern equivalent of the T04Z size wise.

Have you got the full kit or just the manifold? It defeats the advantage of a cast manifold to a certain degree - and adds points of potential leakage - to get the BW to fit, you could probably just run a spacer.

I do not have the full hit just the manifold. And I already have a full front mount intercooler setup so really only thing different is the downpipe
