Default Help! Steering Knuckle Clearance!

I need some help on this. I am installing a turbo setup on my 01 Trans Am and the piping is hitting the steering knuckle on the stock k-member. Is there anyone that makes a modified steering knuckle or something I can do to it? I really don't want to go to a manual steering rack. Any suggestions and pics would be appreciated!

You should be able to move the steering column over a bit also. I had to do this when my steering knuckle was hitting my Kooks headers. I was able to move it enough so that it cleared. Mine wasn't clearing only by a bit, so it will depend on how much clearance you need, as you can only move it so much.
