Just drill a hole or two and tap it so you can remount the actualtor.Only takes about 15minutes.That is what I do.

Didn't know that there was enough material there to drill and tap. Interesting.

heh its just peice of radiator hose that I found at autozone. Im not using a wastegate right now, the one i had was messed up so im using a spring. Its a bitch to adjust but it works great. Eventually ill be upgrading the turbo and go with an external gate, so no worries.

Actaully i just looked at a 14B as I'm used to the DSM T25 where it mounts to the backside and you can just drill a couple small shallow holes to tap..Due to where it mounts you will def have to make a bracket of some kind as it bolts to those raised legs on the housing.A pain in the *** but still doable.

Or you can lengthen the arm of the wastegate and bolt it to where the A/C bracket normally bolts to.

yeah I think that’s the best way to do it (easiest). summers coming, hopefully you find where to put it by the time winter comes
