Default Need Help! Twin turbo won't fit

I have an 80 Z28 that we are putting twin turbos on. The motor was ordered from a shop in TN, its a 383 stroker. I bought a turbo kit from ebay that was supposed to be universal for 67 - 92 camaro's. We have the engine and tranny in, but we noticed that the turbo headers that came with the "universal" kit wont clear the A-arms. I would be thrilled to hear any suggestions or tips. Thanks everyone.

Considering you bought a unikit off ebay, I'm guessing you don't have much cash to put in this. I've not seen a cheap twin turbo setup. Is the motor designed to run turbos? Send the kit back. Find someone local that knows turbos, and pay them to have the proper parts installed properly.

I have 1200 in the turbo kit, and 3600 in the motor. We know turbos, I have a 2003 Honda civic, (my commuter car, lol) with a t3/t4 setup on it that we installed. The motor is set up to run turbos, low compression heads, smaller cam... (535/525), roller engine, etc... I think we are just going to make our own headers... its more fun to do it yourself, and it will be correct.
Thanks
