Greetings,
 
Well, I was taking a closer look at the turbo fit, and realized that there's still a problem.  The turbo fits the mount perfectly, but it won't clear the Atkins intake that I bought.  Given the choice of one or the other, I'd keep the intake and lose the turbo, but I'm still trying to figure out a way to have them both. 
 
What I need to do is move the turbo farther away from the engine, by about an inch.  That will allow it to clear the intake, but not by much.  How hard do you think it would be to have someone fabricate a 1" spacer that would go between the turbo, and the manifold?  Where would you find 1" thick stock for such a spacer?  Would it need to be Inconel, stainless, or ???  It's amazing the trouble that I can get myself into :-)
 
Thanks,
 
Rusty
