You have to cut and weld a new WG flange on with a sharp 110 degree bend off the manifold. At least I did this to clear my IC.

This is semi true, the ef8 headlight had to be notched about 1.5". Which it doesnt effect the light any, since theres nothing in that spot anyways. The oem ED light would clear fine since its not as long as the EF one. Also depends on the turbo size. My turbo is packed in there pretty good. The OBX manifold offsets the turbo to the left side since it’s made for an Integra. If you adjusted the turbo flange to the right a bit, it would fit fine. That would require a lot of cutting and welding. Almost easier to make your own manifold instead.

Before mod, the WG would mount straight putting it in the way of my intercooler.

With a slight bend it fit perfectly behind the IC and cleared fine of everything else.

This is all I had to notch out of the HL, effects nothing since the EF8’s are single bulb.
