Hey everyone needed help with something just bought a turbo for my Vl it's a gt35/40 the housing is a ar/70 and I heard that this turbo hits the block with a stock low mount manifold so I needed some help with this do I need to shave my block or I need spacers or should I buy a smaller turbo thanks

You need a 40mm spacer on your stock manifold which can be welded on to clear the block.

40mm spacer on the manifold flange or the spacer for the exhaust manifold part

Spacer mate, no shaving of the block.

Alot of people shave the block but why isn't it good to do it

Fu** me

Don't listen to dodgy *******s that's why Go the spacer mate

use the spacer and you might have to modify the engine mount bracket also

Yeah John Boy is right you will probably have to notch a bit out of the engine mount Also I used a spacer on stock exhaust manifold but just used longer studs and the spacer with 2 gaskets

a word of advice ........ dont mount the turbo unless you know its going to clear the engine block . make sure the turbo spins freely make sure it clears the engine block. i ruined a turbo by not listening
