TT Header mockup problem (pics)

[RB26zcar]

When I ordered the turbos, I was planing on a friend making me up a stainless long tube TT header that would be no problem using the GT25r's with internal wastegates, but I went and got these manifolds after the turbos, and the wastegate plunger rods will hit the valve covers.

These Blitz manifolds were made to use K26 or K2T turbos, and external wastegates.

I can wack the turbine inlet flanges off, and re weld them at a different angle, or ??? what would you do???

They look like well made manifolds, would be a shame to cut them up. What if you got a flange and bolted it in as a spacer plate between the head and the manifolds? How much clearance do you have?

will it be possible to put an adapter plate between the manifold and head?

Good thought... I'll give that a try.
