Bad news, Travis. I tried my damnest to get the maifold to fit, but I'd have to do a few things which I really don't want to do. First, I'd have to run with no radiator fans whatsoever. I currently have a fluidyne radiator with skinny 12" spal fans and even those fans are too thick for me to fit the fat turbo with that manifold. Second, I'd have to cut my external dump and have it rewelded. I could just cut it to get it to clear the front crossmember, but then it would be blowing hot exhaust gas right on the crossmember. So I'd have to get it welded to direct the gas behind the crossmember. Finally, even with the radiator fans out it looks like the turbo outlet itself would need to be where part of my radiator is. At least it would be so close that I wouldn't be comfortable with the torquing of the engine under load. So basically, it just not going to fit with my fat-ass turbo. It just brings the turbo out away from the engine too far. I'm sorry, buddy, I feel terrible.

If you could get SSautochrome to make the manifold fit like a stocker then I wouldn't have any problem testing it. But as it sits right now, its just not going to fit.
