1G Suggestions on Turbo Fitment

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I was in the shop, mocking up the hot side of my motor and ran into an interference problem.
You all give me suggestions to go through and I can make a decision or maybe go with a different manifold, but this is a budget build motor with me digging up leftover or used parts. Thanks to any and all. Pictures to show the issue. The turbo is a FP HD3582 T3. I think the manifold is a REV(???). As always, I am watching the Classifieds.

https://keatingmachine.com/product/t4-spacer-1-thick-steel-open/ Many places online sell them.

I was looking for something like that.
Keep them coming my friends! Thank you!
That company has T4 but I don't find T3 Spacers.

If you got enough room you can just extend the manifold flange or cut of your factory or some spare eBay manifold flange out and use an additional graphite gasket and longer studs

IDK if my titanium hardware is long enough to add a spacer, but its AN IDEA Thanks!

Well I think if you have a bench grinder you can make it really thin, just enough to fit, I'll be more worried about the alternator bracket. Or you can possibly buy and grind a turbo to manifold flange at a slight angle, you have to measure or estimate it, then use washers that you will also grind at an angle to match the difference. Possibly old head bolt washers.

You'll have to drill out the holes for the additional flange a little bigger to accommodate the angle

I'm not a big fan of the manifold I dug up, tbo. I also have other turbos but the ideas are what I am wanting so thank you!

Well. It's never too late to go N/A...just saying ))

Marty,
I ran that same manifold in the past but it was a Turbonetics unit. I had the same issue. My solution was to grind the turbine housing where is was close to the block and also machine (belt sand might work) an angle into either the manifold to turbo surface and / or the flange of the turbine housing. With either of the angled flange options I added a set of 4 washers that had the same angle on them. This allowed the fasteners to clamp properly.
