You might need more clearance than that since the engine will move counter-clockwise under load. It's kinda mickey mouse, but you could get a 3 bolt flange between the outlet pipe and the downpipe to get more clearance. More of a reversible modification than the BFH approach.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Use a flange or two as a spacer between downpipe and turbo elbow to give you some extra verticals length.

Heads up to those looking for a new product to make:
Make downpipe extensions that are between 0.5-3" in lengths, that are in 0.5" increments. So I can go and measure how much my downpipe needs to be extended, and order the spacer that size.
