depending on what turbo your running (eg t34) t3 etc the bracket will hit the rad iff your running a diff intercooler and rad set up . its as simple as moving them forward or undoing the snail on the turbo housing and turning it round to clear , no need to go to any one for this is there ?
you can also buy various different actuator brackets or have one made up, and i belive janno can map as well as any other
and yes i had to move my rad forward and intercooler when i fitted a t3/04e from the usa originally some years ago on the standard s2 exhaust manifold not unusual if your running a bigger turbo , as u need to use the spacer flange on the 4 stud flange to space the turbo away to stop it hitting the manifold , this obviously pulls it forward closer to the rad
