Default Turbo hits motor, manifold doesn't fit.

I bolt the turbo to the manifold, then in an attempt to bol tht emanifold to the motor find out the turbo hits the motor.

If i could find a spacer of sorts, to push the manifold like 1/4 towards the radiator (just away from the motor) it would fit perfectly. The right (drivers) side of the manifold can rest flush against the head, but he left side (the compresser is on the left) is limited because the compressor hits the transmission. But barely.

Input, suggestions?

the compressor hits the tranny? or the webbing next to the block code? if its hitting the webbing just grind that **** down. if its hitting your tranny, then i dunno. i have never seen a turbo hit a tranny before..

i'm using a greddy manifold with a crack right now. I am pretty sure it was hitting the tranny itself. Not the webbing. This was 6 months ago though, and the cracked cast mani is getting close to cracking in half. So its time to get the other t25 cast mani to work.

Is there a 1/4 spacer i can buy or seomthing, lol could i just use another headflange and long studs?

if you really need it then call up someone who makes flanges like bmc racing or anyone else on here.. just use the exhaust flange as a spacer.. but you will need longer studs or you can use bolts.. i also think you will need to use 2 exhaust manifold gaskets which will kinda suck but if its what you need then you need to do it..

my friend shaved part of his transmission casing, plus the block to fit his turbo on.
