Wastegate install issue

[fxnytrortxkid]

Hey all, I am having trouble getting airbox in (gap ram this year) far enough for side panel to fit on. I believe it’s because I can’t get the cross tube in place because the first belly is hitting the silver threaded ring on the ts wastegate I am installing. It keeps the cross tube about 1/8” from fully seating, being its suction side I can’t imagine issue but I have since removed the rov so it may aid in my ability to rotate more and make it work. But thought I would check for any tips tricks or know issues I don’t know about. It’s hard to see in pics but here’s what I mean

You can use a dremel and grind down cross tube a bit where hitting waistgate actuator. And or lower actuator a bit by moding mounting holes, but this means taking everything apart again unfortuantly.

I considered heating and indenting pipe there aswell, I thought about grinding it but didn’t seem thick enough to work. I’ll take a look maybe over sizing holes is the anwser.

it should twist the belly aound a bit and will alow to clear.. ive seen guys heat and dent it to give clearance.
