Ok heres the deal, this is my 3rd car i have had a ca in and im having some issues, I have a older hks turbo kit. i want to say its the 3400 kit it has a t-3 t-4 hybrid turbo and a upright manifold, im not positive on the model number i bought it used, so........ put my new ca in my s13 and i was about to put the turbo on when i noticed, i have like no room for my master cylnder < i had removed it to replace it with the 300zx master> and the brake booster leaves me pretty much no room for my downpipe.... obviously this kit was intended for a rhd car, so im wondering if anyone has any ideas on what i should do here, possibly a smaller brake booster from a diffrent car? i will edit this post and add some pics tomorrw.... so if anyone has any ideas im open to them.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I would try and get the manifold modified or just get another one made. I know it sucks, but a smaller brake booster will be a slap in the face.

I think i have the problem figured out, i bought another t-3 flange, and another gasket. it should be here in a few days. im going to basicly stack them and use longer studs. i think this and a little bending of the brake lines should do the trick. I will keep everyone posted on how this works out. and ill post some pics when its all done.
