Turbo fitment issues!!!
I just dropped in my motor with an HKS cast iron exhaust manifold and a turbonetics 62-1 turbo and the compressor housing is hitting the fender wall.
Has any one had this problem before or do i need to take off my turbo and after the motor in then put the turbo on and it will fit better?
here's some pics give me some ideas before i beat this wall up!

Well, your running a 2nd gen FC manifold in a 3rd gen. Want a turbo to fit in a 3rd gen bay, get a 3rd gen manifold. As for fitment now if you intend to make it work, you can gain some clearance by clocking the turbo compressor discharge down. You can also make clearance via BFH method (Big ******* Hammer) denting you engine bay slightly. You could always shave some off your engine flange side and turbo flange side from your manifold (I wouldn't take more then 1/8" from either surface). Using one, or perhaps all the described methods should make it fit, that and maybe fiddling with your engine mounts.
