Exhuast Manifold Help

So I have a ca18, and I just put a new t25 on it. For some reason it wouldnt fit onto my old mani, so I had a turbo sx one in my basement i used.

Everything is done until I go to put the turbo outlet on it (part that connects the turbo to the intercooler piping). It hits the manifold and wont bolt up properly. So I don’t know wtf is going on with this turbo. I’ve had like 5 different turbos on a CA before and never had these problems. Are there different sized outlets out there or are they a one size fits all kinda deal?

If so I’m looking for something that doesnt just go straight up, but comes out a little further to clear the manifold. Need something asap, either that or need some advice cause I’m confused. Thanks guys, Peace

get a spacer to go against the turbo to the hot pipe same thing happened to me when i got some ebay style manifold just get a block of aluminum take to machine shop

ahhh that would work. Where did you pick up the aluminum?

Wait…if I did that then the 3 bolts that go into the turbo wouldnt reach…
