T3 wastegate hitting head? Who's had this? shave head?

you using an HF manifold?
does the wastegate actuator attach to the back of the compressor housing or on the front?

take off the actuator and mount the manifold/turbo. find where the wastegate will not touch anything and figure out how to mount it. you may have to make a bracket or bend the mounting lip. for the rod, you will probably have to attach a longer rod and bend it to the flapper.

Goto the FAQ and read up on changing the wastegate out for a carb spring, might be your only choice.

Dont know how much this will help you. But I heard slammdsol used 2 gaskets instead of one. Dont know. I'm guessing rotating the housing wont help?
