Single Turbo Scoot Hood fitment problem

Has anyone had any issues with the fitment of the Seibon Scoot hood on the Greedy T-78 setup. I was putting my hood on today and noticed the elbow coming off the turbo to the intercooler is contacting the hood. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Its hitting in the yellow circle in the 2nd pic.

Clock the turbo.. You will have to re-do ur intercooler piping, but it will clear the hood.

+1 You may be able to turn it just enough to clear the hood, and not have to re-do the piping.

Try hood spacers (or stack washers). If the back is risen an inch, just maybe that spot might not make contact.

Edit: I didn read your last post. Fail on my part.

I've seen 2 FD with that turbo setup and both rubbed the hood bad. Gotta clock the turbo and redo that side of piping.
