Default exaust manifold bolt wont fit?

i'm using this manifold for my build:
http://www.spoolinperformance.com/sp...fold-p-58.html
if you take a look, the bolt that is just behind the pipe that goes to the wastegate wont clear the piping to make it in the hole. is there a trick to get the bolt in, or another type of bolt that i could use in this case? i am able to get all the others in and tighten them down.
thanks

wait.. your trying to mount the WG and the bolt wont fit cause of the pipe?




The bolt enters thru the WG 1st to the flange. Usually bolts supplied with Tial WGs fit the threaded flange perfectly.

you need a STUD and nut. ( if your cars a obd II. you need to get a stud/ nut for that area) but even then you need studs and nuts for the entire exhaust manifold install. because it is a superior design. most bolts will strip out
