I just installed my turboback the other night.. I just cut a little bit off the corner of the diffuser with it still on the car. Fits great now.

I just dremmeled the corner off then added some Thermo Tec Heat Barrier to the side of the diffuser, just in case... You can pick up a 12" x 12" piece for around $10... https://www.shopatron.com/product/pa...er=13500/681.0

just make it so the right hangars arent all the way in. push hit out a bit, it will melt your diffuser at the corner btw.
