If you put the turbo on upsidedown it'd hit the bulkhead not the engine surely.

As above, photos of turbo needed.

It is a very close fit but a T3 fits with ease as above pictures required.

I think you may have got a ford rs T3? I think these have a larger compressor side.

Looks a big turbine housing, Sausage man, have a look on the exhaust side, there should be the A/R number cast in somewhere, what is it?

it's been a while since i've looked at a T3, but that looks normal to me?

Whereabouts is it hitting the block? is it a 1275 block?

Looks like a big en to me too.

compared to mine its got some lumps sticking out of it and it looks a lot bigger, so thats probably why its hitting.

if you look closely on the silver bit u can see a we bit of red that came of the bloke and thats wer its hitting..
but my main consern is if i modify it so its not hitting the bloke will it hit the bulkhead?

some people on here have ground the block away above the fuel pump hole, where the casting is apparantly thick. so that may be the answer. Have a search for gt17's on mirage manifolds.
