Manifold for FD will fit a FC?/ where to buy big turbo manifolds?

I know the manifold will bolt to the block but will there be clearence issues in the FC. I dont think so, looks like I have alot of room under my hood

the reason I ask this is because I want a nice fat turbo and I can't find a manifold for a HKS T51 turbo for a FC

It hits the lower intake on the FC 13BT.

HKS does make a T51R tube manifold for FC 13BT applications.
HKS part number 1419-RZ002

You can also make/buy a spacer I think. I'm running an FD manifold (OBX) in my FC, but on a 13b RE motor -- so the clearance is a little different. Using an RB exhaust flange as the spacer.

Im running the obx on a s5 motor,

with a 1.15 p trim I had to have the flange rewelded to clear the LIM. A RB flange/spacer did not work.
