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

 

4 bolt or 5 bolt turbine housing?

 

yup you gotta shave or cut a chunk of the block away so it fits..

 

my drag turbo fits 57 trim on my lsvtec setup

 

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.

 

thanks everyone thats what i was thinkin.... debating weather i want to get a tubular manifold tho?? any difference in power?

 

If you got to the full race web site they have dyno results that show a 40hp increse by change from a log mani to ramhorn.
