Default 93 accord eclipse turbo conversion problems

Having a problem with the turbo setup. I got the eclipse manifold redrilled, got the eclipse injectors and the safc hooked up. Well thats the good part. I have been told by a few people that the turbo will bolt right up. Well I have a TD04 and it simply wont bolt up worth anything. First I had to remove the front motor mount to make it even close. Then when I tried to drop the turbo in it wouldnt fit at all because the compressor hits the block. Is it the turbo. Do I have to use a t25 or 14b. Anyone have this setup that can help? Any help would be appreciated.

Its the part where a nipple comes out so that the motor mount can screw into it (big nipple but is hollow). Anything I should use to grind it with?

with eclipse's manifold flange, you can only use a T25, T28 and 14B..i don't think you can use a greddy turbo..

Got it all straight now. I had to grind the spot where the bolt goes to hold the mount in away. Had to grind the whole first bolt spot off but it didnt take any time with the angle grinder. So now I have succesfully done the accord dsm turbo setup. What a relief to finally be done. Thanks for the help.
