[MeSs]

Since the old thread is 2 year old i would like to start a new one.
Maybe someone else have made/come up a better solution!!

Here is the old thread:

I have the same problem, with a Megan Racing manifold.

clock the compressor housing and modify the wastegate bracket, whats the problem?



That's exactly what I had to do for my gt28rs, just flip the bracket and space it out with longer bolts/washers.

Where does the compressor outlet point then? Down?

Just clock the turbine housing to the angle of your T25. Just monkey see monkey do and then poundthe actuator holder plate till it is flat and your set. You can use a hammer on concrete or better cover it with a towel and pound it.

clock it enough so that the outlet clears the manifold and the wg bracket still bolts on



You can see the wg bracket is flipped from how it comes normally

Can i get a picture from front?

[MeSs]

I belive the wastegates your picturing is different.

[statik]

ok, well I can't see what actuator you are using since you didn't post a picture of it. How about this: clock the turbo, make the wg bracket fit, if you can't, make a bracket, or buy a bracket like the one pictured from atpturbo

[MeSs]

Made it, thanks guys.. But the wg seems to be a bit tight in there.

You can notch the holes in the wg bracket so the actuator can slide a bit to center the arm, hook up a compressor to the actuator and make sure it opens ok, ive had the actuator arm not move and let the air blow by it due to a bad angle.
