How much clearance between the chassis and the turbo is sufficient? I have just over 1/4” between the chassis and the compressor and am concerned that the compressor will make contact with the chassis when the motor twists under load. Bear in mind the engine has eurathane motor mounts.

Thanks for the input guys. If I need more room I'll have the manifold turbo flange tilted towards the motor slightly. I'd rather pay for a couple hours of labor to do that than try to adapt the chassis to fit a poorly designed part.
However, with that said I'm still not sure how much clearance I need. Peejay suggested 1" What do the rest of you think-is 1" too much, too little? For those of you that are curious, I posted pictures of the turbo mounted on the manifold in my single turbo thread on nopistons
