Hey mate, you can get raised intake manifolds so they will clear the booster.

you could use a different booster or just lower the original one, its a lot of stuffing around but worth it.

cheers

i dont have a picture as yet but, you lower it the hole below the orginal one. I am talking about the holes that it bolts up to the drivers side guard. you move the top hole siply down to the next hole down (no drilling required), then redrill another hole to fix the next bolt in position. then you could make up a washer to mount it to the firewall.

it all sounds confusing, but once you look at it for a while it will come to you.

cheers
