I have an FM heat shield I need to install on my MK setup. As it, it will hit the turbo. I will be messing with it over winter, but i think if you raise it by about 10mm it will work. I am going to buy some M6 studs and some m6 Sleeve nuts, and red loctite them together and hopefully that will space it up adequately.

guys, where do you hook up the oil feed line? do you know where I can get a base map for startup and brake in before going to the dyno?

Oil feed tees off the oil pressure switch hole, above the oil filter. Put your stock sender on the end of the supplied adapter and screw the 1/8npt to 4an fitting into the side..

Guys, need some help with this gasket, as you can see in the picture it has not taken into consideration the wastegate, did I get the wrong part?, if so where can I get the right gasket?, or do I just have to cut it?

Don't use the gasket. Smear some good, high-temp wheel bearing grease on the mating face when assembling. It will cook into a carbon crust and fill the tiniest irregularities in the mating surfaces. Same thing for the turbo to manifold connection unless v-band. Using gaskets there gives you a greater chance of failure.
