Post some pics i am sure u can help you with that, if i got my turbo to fit on my manifold will find a solution for yours. And you can just raise it up with 3/4" spacer and just weld a 90* elbow on the compressor cover!

I have this all documented on my thread. You will need to get a spacer (flange) to get it off the 2nd rail. I bought the housing with the 90 degree bend in it and clocked it juuuuusssttt right.

another quick note since you had brought up the feed line...

mine came with an -4 adapter. It is a brass fitting that comes out at a 90. I had the boostlogic feed line kit which has the -3 end on it. I am going to have to either get a -3 female to -4 male adapter on it or will have to buy a new feedline (again)

Thanks a lot that really helps. My turbo rubs the runners just like yours. plus im going to have to trim 2 studs to fine a nut on it.

For the feed line mines did come with a 90 degree brass fitting. So youre saying the pitch is made for a 4 an fitting? Mines looks a little on the bigger side.

I just went with the exact setup minus the 2JZ. The 90 degree coupling/elbow form DM, worked great. Since the space is very tight, I ended up putting a 1/4 inch slit in mine toward the turbo. This slit is where the housing on the intake side of the turbo is mated together. This 1/4 inch slit allowed me to push the coupling up further to allow the bend around the strut tower. The slit didnt hurt it at all. I just made sure I put the coupling on before the slit, worked great. I wouldnt weld anything on the turbo, JMO. In case you decide to sell it or go another route, much easier to undo a coupling.

Secondly buy the spacer for the turbo. Contact racepartsolution.com in Florida. Great customer service.

Well you must cut about 3" of the compresssor housing and weld the 90* elbow on it, then install the spacer ! That's your solution right there.

"Thank you for your inquiry. The feed fitting would consist of 2 fittings in order to reduce it down to a -3an line. You will need a 1/4npt to 1/8npt reducer, and then a male to male 1/8npt to -3an fitting. You can then attach the -3an line to that fitting with no issues. Let me know if you purchased direct from us and I can then get you a detailed estimate for both items"

This is the answer i got from full race. Im going with a -4 an line, the fitting looks like a restrictor to me, but im not sure. I just need the 1/4 npt to 1/8 npt and il be set.

You guys will want to be careful with how much oil pressure your feeding the turbo.
I recently found out it is possible to drown your turbo
