Engine shims cause and effect

My question revolves around gaining clearance between the compressor housing and the steering shaft.

 

I've lost my clearance between the turbo and the steering shaft due to my external wastegate manifold design. A 1/4 inch would be enough as the motor tourques the opposite direction. 

 

Solutions:

1. Shim the driver side motor mount 1/4" to gain the necessary clearance. Down side is that it will rotate my shifter slightly, and oil function slightly I'm guessing.

 

2. Shim both sides evenly. However, this would effect the transmission/ pinion shaft deflection. 

Note: I'm waiting on a digital angle finder to get a precise measurement on my output shaft angle.

 

3. Sind a slightly smaller compressor housing...if all else fails.
