Has anybody had trouble with there new manifold that makes the turbo sit to low that it hits the motor mount and that you can't put the down pipe on without it hitting the transmission.

Well I had gotten this manifold like a week ago and tried to put it on and that's what it does. The manifold bolts on correctly no problems, but when I bolt on the turbo it won't bolt on correctly. I didn't pay much for it, but I would like to use it or at least make it work. So I just went ahead and put the factory manifold back on and put the motor and transmission back in the car.

Well the way that it hits the motor mount I can make it work there but about the downpipe hitting the transmission, I don't know. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Ive had that same manifold from that same seller in the past & I was using an sr t25 on my ca and it fit with no problems. You just kinda gotta fiddle with it for a while.

Alright so it will fit? I still have the stock t25 on mine.
