Default Pics of a motor mount problem im having

I have a 98 honda prelude I got my manifold the other day and the thing positions my turbo right into my motor mount. What should i do? i tried grinding some of the motor mount down but it seems like im going to have to grind it down to nothing. Im concerned about the strength of the motor mount. heres some pics... what should i do?
(this is not an SSautoCrap manifold. Its thicker much better from RS motor sports)

if thats the front motor mount, theres a guy on here, JD, who took it completely off of his accord, and its been off for over a year with no problems at all, just take that bitch out, then it'll fit
