help!! cant mount manifold and turbo....
how do i fix this? 
the wastegate is hitting the block, and preventing me from mounting the turbo and manifold on... i have a t3 off a saab internally wastegated...what would I have too do too run an external wastegate? or could I somehow move the internal wastegate??oh, right now i am running a hf manifold with some sort of adapter...would a different manifold help me??

You can either run a different manifold.
Run thicker (such as Mr.Gasket copper-seal) or more gaskets (ghetto)
Grind the webbing on the block, if that's where it's hitting? I had to take a ****-load off of mine and it's still touching...my solution will most likely be a different turbo when I have the time/money.
Or you can use an external wastegate. To do this you will need a place to attach it to the manifold (might be easier to get a different manifold) and will have to use a downpipe that blocks off the internal wastegate port.

take the part that is connected to the exhaust housing off (should be three bolts) then you will see the wg hole and flapper....
