Default Trying to fit FMIC, ABS?!.. Help needed..

I've started fitting my FMIC today, but just as I am getting ready to cut my hole, I realise, I have ABS there....

Is it still possible to fit with ABS?

OR

Is this going to be one of them really annoying times where I have to put it all back together because the only way is removal of ABS?

Any help would be much appreciated.

94 Turbo 2000, by the way

Is there a specific kit for cars with ABS and one for those without?

As I've never seen it advertised that way before, when advertised they just say 92-96 Impreza..

Mines different to that, I had to remove heat shield from turbo, it goes over the top of the turbo and needs to go pretty much where the ABS is.

Think I'm just going to try to get it as close to the ABS as possible, as its the only way I can do it.

This is what I am going to have to do I think.

I checked the pic out on your profile of your engine bay, it has the same ABS as mine, so I'm guessing it will fit, just doesnt look like it, Lol.

Thanks

i had this problem last week mate what i did was unbolt the abs system then cut off one of the abs support arms the one tht bolts where the pipe needs to be.
then cyt the inner wing to desire and dress with rubber seal i used an old sunroof scrim
thn bolt the abs back in with the 2 bolts near the engoine and the one on the right as you look
as you have removed the left one



ps its easier to cut the abs support arm where it bends

hope this helps
