Turbo manifold clearance issue
 

So had my engine rebuilt with all OEM parts and street ported. Got rid of the old GT4088 turbo and got BW K29 but then hit another wall.

The exhaust housing of the turbo will not clear either side of intake manifold or engine bay as you can see from the pictures below.

Probably due to cheap manifold design but I picked this years back pretty much free when I bought the GT4088 of the seller.

I want to keep the turbo but want to know what other manifolds that I could use that can solve the clearance problem? I've looked into the Doc Race one and this seems to may fix things!!!

If slipping a turbo flange on there as a spacer works, it will also give you the opportunity to port match the manifold-spacer/flange-turbo.

Edit. But it will still be close. You will want to heat-shield the living shit out of everything.

I have ZERO experience with them, but you might want to check out the IRP Performance manifold:

Based on this thread (specifically post #3), their manifold will accommodate a BW on a 3rd gen:

Ordered from Glease Man, will update once received and installed. Thanks all for your help and input.

Great choice....... you will be taken well care of.

Just an update and to say thank you to Glease man for a great service and a great manifold.

This now shipped to my builder 150 miles away and I'll update once it's gone on and replaced the cheap old manifold.
