any ideas for the FBM manifold?? here is a picture with what I'm working with.

 

We would need to see an aerial (topview) picture of the area between the timing cover and the WG. From the angle of your current picture,it looks like the WG might be sitting right above the 2 front socket cap screw that bolts the front of the cylinder head to the lower timing cover--this area needs to be unobstructed in order to mount the base of the ODB/VAC block.

Okay yes the wastegate does block it a bit.
