    EVO RS manifold ..

    I bought such a turbo manifold by Wagner tuning, but I have trouble fitting the turbo to my manifold .. my turbo is a Garrett gt3076r 0.82, exhaust housing goes against my beam. Should I move the engine forward or put shims under the motor bracket on one side or have other suggestions? Regards Henrik

    Spacing the engine mount is the easiest option, after that you're looking at some modification to the front leg to clear it. Check out 4wheeldrifter's thread, as he will be running this turbo.

        had same problem with my rs2 on wagner evo t3/gt3071 0.82.

        new engine mount solved clearance issues.

              I had this on my coupe with the OEM RS2 manifold and .63 hotside on a GT3071. Replacement of the engine mount raised it but it still rubbed the chassis when cornering. A few large washers to space the engine up another 1/2" does the trick.

                Unless you've got a stroker in which case you can't

                I will eventually have the chassis leg recessed, I used a large hammer to remodel mine

                  I agree this is the way to go. I have a GT3076 / 0.82 with a Wagner T3 manifold.

                    I pulled engine forward as far as possible and raised that side. Wagner Eco t3 and ct355 .63. Not the same but it worked for me.

                      My English is really bad so I ask again just to be sure :-) I must have some shims under my engine mount and hit a bump in the beam with a hammer, it is understood correctly?

                        I did not bump the beam (chassis leg). I raised (shims) the engine and moved it forward on it's mounts. You need to also raise the gearbox mount with shims.

                        You may have to bump the beam as your turbo is bigger?
