i took the bitch apart now and rotated the comp. housing, and tossed the 14b wastegate acuator.

it seems to me that with a place of steel, a bandsaw and about 30 minutes of time you could make an adapter bracket to keep the stock actuator.

......... well thats what i'm going to try anyway.

i've read that the stock acutator isnt so good and the carb spring works better and i can adjust my boost lower than 7-8psi.

just using a carb srping isnt really good at all...not easy to adjust, and (in my experience) the boost can spike at part throttle where there is less exhaust pushing up against the spring....use a real actuator, you can fin ones that open at low pressure

get creative....take the actuator off, then re-mount it once youve spun the housing
