Yeah sounds like the turbo isnt clocked to how you want it, no matter, ive had simular problems with the hood not fitting there and that support beam above the radiator is really flimsy, a sawzall will take care of it good. I cut mine out to put in a larger radiator, secondly, the hood will need to be replaced, unless you want to beat it out, or shim it higher, but odds are it still wont fit right or look downright ugly. I bought a carbon fiber invader hood from VIS for that problem. You might want to look into a different manafold placement for your turbo if all that sounds like too much work/money.
