Angry Zetec Turbo T34 Turbo Mounting issues

Hi All I am just about there with the conversion but have came accross a few points I need to clear up, I am using a T34.48 on the wtandard Escort Turbo Manifold and the compressor housing is now fouling the block, just where the CPS sensor is, this means that the turbo doesn't sit flush with the manifold anymore and there is no way a hose will fit over it, Is this something anyone else has had a problem with?

The only thing I can do to resolve this is to spin the housing round so it clears it but his means that it puts the actuator arm on the piss, The only solution I can come up with is to have a t3 flange put in as a spacer and extend the manifold studs to bring the turbo out slightly but the actuator arm is at a heck of an angle although is still working. The only down side to this is that the turbo not sits in front of the thermostat housing which I can see cauing more issues

Is there an easier option than this, anyone got any suggestions as I have tried the housings in other positions to no avail and it is just the same issue.
