Any of you guys running the sheepey manifold have any fitment issues? I'm just getting finished with my drag car. I went with the sheepey twin scroll foward facing kit. The manifold was a nightmare to bolt up. We had to cut two of the studs almost in half just to get the mani to sit flush with the head, with out the stud hitting the manifold. We then had to actually grind the two hex nuts down because there was no way the regular nut would fit.
These pics are before we had to cut the studs...
In this pic you can see the gap between the head & manifold.
Any of you guys have this same issue? I didn't see anyone else running his twin scroll. But was curious how the t3 manifold fitment is?

from my experience Sheepey is a good dude and if you are having problems I am sure he will not hesitate to take care of you. Im not sure if your fitment problems are common or not but I know that they will make things right. I have zero affiliation with them, just my 2 cents.

You have to put the manifold on and the nut on at the same time and spin the nut as you push in. It takes a bit of time but it fits. The only problem is the turbo sitting really low behind the intercooler.

We tried everything bro. You'd have to see it in person to see the issue. The nut doesn't even line up even with the whole in the mani. I'm guessing its only an issue for the twin scroll mani's. I'm sure he'll do right by us. I'm not worried.
