Default Turbo hitting radiator...

How bad is it that my compressor housing is hitting my radiator?

I know, but I read all the **** you have to do to mount one, and it seems like a less than pleseant job.

I fabbed up some new top brackets that tilt the top of the radiator towards the front of the car, it will give you over 1/2" of clearance easily.
