My turbo sits clocked towards the 7 oclock position and the compressor now its the frame. GT4067R Turbo.
Anyone have this problem.

Turbo hitting frame
- Thread starter QWIKSTRIKE
- Start date
I've got two .5" T4 flanges welded together and used as a spacer between the turbo and manifold to clear the frame rail. Precision 6376 with the big H cover.
It all depends on your manifold design I guess. I could use another inch honestly, I bought a 90* elbow to weld on to the compressor housing and after cutting the housing up as short as I could (totally cut the stepped lip mounting portion off) it still wouldn't really fit without angling it past 90*, which I thought was stupid at the time. So I just have a high heat 90* coupler there now that just squeezes in there and probably is bent a bit past 90.

That makes it an inch high does it clear the hood when the turbo is mounted....I am thinking that obviously it does since it is mounted in there right. If you have no hood clearance issues I have a 1" spacer sourced.
I could use a spacer as well on my set up, but with a 90* compressor outlet the s360 fits my super oldschool divided china mani without one. Hood clearance seems to have room for a 1/2" spacer at least.

I sourced a 1" 306 stainless spacer and if he truly has no hood clearance issues will order it today.
The manifold I have with reinforced frame
My manifold is different than yours, but you could always get that 1" spacer machined down if it does not clear the hood.

I USED A 1" SPACER AND ALL IS GOOD NO HITTING THE HOOD OR ANYTHING
