Turbo Hitting Shock Tower!
Setup: Boostlogic 2jzge manifold
borg warner s360 turbo
car: 93 sc300
The compressor housing is hitting the shock tower and will not let the turbo sit flush on the manifold.
I cannot run a spacer since then the turbine housing will interfere will the stock throttle body.
I have tried rotating the compressor housing every possible way didn't solve the issue
I have hit the shock tower with a hammer... but it only moved it so far and still didn't work
what are my options? Go with a 6266 since that is what the manifold was made for and has a smaller compressor housing?
try using a cast manifold?
what are my options?
Ill post some pictures later today.

You have two options.
Go with a PTE based turbo which will allow the clearance on the turbine housing and will also give more clearance on the compressor housing side as well.
Get a XSPower FFIM intake plenum and ditch the stock setup. This will allow you to use any size turbo the manifold will clear. This is more involved than just a bolt on process alot of small bits and parts to make it all complete.
I had to get rid of my 1.00 divided housing with my ebay NA-T manifold and run a .81 open housing with a turbine blanket. This allowed clearance for my stock intake manifold and was the easiest option.
