1.8t bam tip touching servo

I have fitted a bam into my golf and have just put on the servo only to realise it is touching the turbo intake pipe. At first I thought this was down to the autocavan brake linkage and 16v servo however I swapped it out for a standard mk1 linkage and servo I had lying around and it's still touching. The tip is quite a compact unit and I see no way of pulling it out the way. The only options I can think of are to modify the autocavan linkage to shift te servo 20mm to the near side or to switch to a bias pedal box however I am not keen to do this and lose the servo.
Engine else encountered this issue ? I presume it's down to the different pipe work on the bam with k04 turbo.

Mine is an AGU so im not sure the tip exits the same but having a quick scan on images sjows it looks similar.
Is it the master cylinder its touching or the reservoir?
Mine was in hard contact with my reservoir so removed the reservoir and flipped it 180 degrees as its offset (think its a 16v one), in effect running it back to front on the MC.
Does this help?
Sorry if not!

I have been viewing a couple of builds with the servo on the driver side and it's tempting me. Especially with the hydro clutch master fitted also.

It didn't jump out at me as an obvious solution at the time but maybe I was having an off day ;-)
If that works I may have to lengthen some of the other pipes that connect to the tip but that's no biggy

I had to trim a bit off the bit of the TIP that attaches to the turbo to move it in a bit and rotate mine to clear the 9 inch servo, then it came into contact with the reservoir and had to rotate the reservoir! All my attaching pipes are trimmed and rerouted from stock to reduce unnecessary slack and allow them to fit properly!
Yours may be a wider TIP too for the k04.

Either way, I don't think depth will solve the problem as the whole side of the servo is up against the tip. I cant shorten the tip at the turbo end either as the steel hater matrix pipes are right behind it.
I have decided to modify the autocavan servo bracket. It angles in towards the engine (I presume to miss all the K-Jet stuff on a standard mk1, which I don't haver) so I plan to straighten it up and shift it towards the near side about 15-20mm. I will probably require the servo swing arm on the link bar shifted also. Looking at getting a local blacksmith to do it as I am a novice welder and its a safety item.
