Also have this problem that the manifold wont fit as the turbo hits the front engine mount its a turbotechenics gt30? Any way around this with moving the turbo? Cheers

Different exhaust manifold? - That may technically count has moving the turbo.

You may need one of those exhaust flanges that repositions the turbo some mm's forward (toward the radiator) to allow it to fit without hitting the block/clutch housing.

But you have to be aware doing this will move it closer to the radiator fans, so you need to take that into consideration, and as mentioned above, a new exhaust dump pipe and exhaust down pipe.

That's the trouble with tuning cars matey you always need to do far more than you thought you'd need to when you started lol, one thing always leads onto another I had to fit a new manifold/elbow/down pipe/oil water lines/remove one fan, Then once it was running I then needed a bigger rad & oil cooler and their you go you're on that slippery slope to oblivion!
