thanks for the pics but could you take a further back pic. im trying to figure out is that a hose on top the coupler for a boost source, cuz i also see one on the wastegate. I do see how your J pipe is in the way. You would probably have to switch that out for a metal one and is the j pipe pointing straight down or does it lean to the pass side for a side mount.

edit: is that a coolant line? on the top there with the little hose clamp? if so Thats where your problem is. It should be routed behind the turbo near the block.
