SSAC Clearance on FD

I received an SSAC manifold today and went and to check the clearances, wastegate and downpipe locations. I am using a 60-1 T04s cover .96 T4 hot side. Anyway it looks like no matter which way I clock the compressor housing I can't get it to clear the heater hard line on the fender wall. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to remedy it. I would like to keep my heater but from the looks of it I will need to relocate my heater hardline or lose it.

Thanks

I had the same problem. I solved it by rotating the metal heater pipe 180 deg so it sags down.

Replace the heater pipe with hose and heat wrap.

I moved the hose under the turbo. Drilled a new hole and bolted it there.
