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!!!

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:

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.
