Racing beat also offers a piece that is made for this. Not sure what the part number or brice it but it is basically 2 flanges welded to pipes. This might be an option if you cannot weld.

if you will be using the stock nikki then you need about a 3" spacer off the manifold exit. basically it will push the turbo off of the manifold 3". sounds crazy? wait till you see how much clearane you DONT have.
other solution... (what i did) get a nice custom tubular header that puts the turbo way up front and out of the way of everything

soooo, you'll be using a holley carb? or dellorto? which intake of rb's? if you are going to use the holley manifold, yes it will be a rediculous problem. in fact you will be forced to go with a completely custom turbo header like i did. (that's actually the original reason i got mine).. but if you are going with dellorto which i kinda hope your not, then a couple rb spacers will work.

with the holley intake manifold there is no chance of using the s4 exhaust manifold. gonna have to be custom. you can see where my manifold puts the turbo in the pic. that was when i test fitted the holley.
