turbo mani vs stock mani

while manifolds off i may as well test fit the turbo and theres 3 issues already
[ATTACH=full]32530[/ATTACH]
first the turbo inlet is blocked by the radiator fan. second the turbo outlet is again block by the edge of the radiator

and third is this, cant be helpin with flow
[ATTACH=full]32529[/ATTACH]
so i have couple of choices, of which are not cheap
1: keep current turbo exhaust but buy a smaller radiator with smaller fan and welded into new location which may compromise cooling efficiency
1b: cut a section off the radiator to barely clear the turbo outlet port and fit smaller fan
1c: move the lower rad support over abit by 1cm just enough to clear the turbo and bend a new top support (prob the easiest cheapest option)
2: get someone to fabricate a new turbo manifold and modify the downpipe to relocate & reorientate the turbo
2b: buy a cast hks turbo manifold and ask someone to modify the downpipe
2c: get a mig welder, learn how to weld proper and make my own (may take awhile)
what would be the most cost effective choice?
