Trouble installing PTE FM with SPAL Fans

[Black Car]

With the fans out the pipe fits easy but I can't get the fans back in place, so the pipe is correct.
Call PTE and they don't have a pipe made for the Spal fans.

I have the Spal dual fans and have an interference (sp) problem with the turbo to FM pipe.
I have the stock style waste gate, not the external wastegate.

Tried to move the fans left and right but the Fan motor on the passenger side hits the turbo pipe.
There has to be some trick to it, just not seeing it.

I moved my fans as far as I could to the drivers side while still covering the radiator and then played with the intercooler piping. It does fit.

Remove the fans. Flip them over and notice the extra material where both units meet and to he outsides. The tops and bottoms are not as wide. Take a single hacksaw blade and carefully cut the extra material off the fan so that it fits flush to the radiator.Then offset the fans to which ever side will clear the tubes best. This combination should give you the clearance you need.

I bent the tube a little and it fit. I used a piece of round aluminum bar stock and stuck it in the end of the tube that comes from the intercooler and then with the bar stock laying flat on the floor. pulled up on the tube tull it bent about 1 1/2 inch and it cleared the fans. Guess I did it the hard way but it worked.

I cut and re-welded the piping on one for the same reason. Louie's method would've been easier.
