Default Edelbrock/GT28RS on a D16A6

looking at the turbo assembly i realised that the oil dipstick will not fit through the exhaust manifold. does anyone have any pointers as how to address this issue?

Bend the tube. Whack it with a mallet.

Others fit the dipstick.

Another way is to put a screwdriver in the end of the tube, heat the tube with a propane torch and slowly bend it. I've creased/cracked a few dipstick tubes being over zealous with the dead blow hammer lol. My sr20 dipstick tube cracked in half at the base when I moved it slightly to clear the compressor housing
