Just shave the block, as long as its rubbing on one of the ribbs you are just fine.

most drag mani's are designed around a 5-bolt exhaust turbo, I believe.

A 4-bolt exhaust turbo will not work as they are angled differently from the centerline, therfore, it angles the turbo wrong.


I found this out the hard way too, I ended up selling the drag mani and getting a max-rev as this is one that is designed around a 4-bolt exhaust turbo.
