No, don't be concerned! It's OK!
As long as the eye hole, is flat against the flapper arm your golden.
OK, got a tip/trick for you. Wrapping the actuator arm with grip tape makes for quick and easy adjustment.

that is quite an angle. are you sure it's not a t25 actuator if it'll even fit? just throwing out a suggestion.

Maybe you need a different bracket?? I know brackets are turbo specific.....

[SoguRacing]

perhaps he's right. i have the t28 HKS actuator on my gt2871 and it sits flat..meaning it's straight across.

[devonkyle77]

i know its the t28 kit for s14/15
i bought it new, and prior to this, i purchased one off of a forum member that was supposedly for t28, but the bolts were spaced different. meaning it was for t25

hmm.... mine sits flat, but like they said it should still be fine

Yeah, that angle is a little much. It will still work, but something like that would annoy me just to know it's like that.

I would either bend/make another bracket, or put a spacer on one side to try and angle it.

Ya I'm sure it works OK but really does look quite angled. I have the S13 and S14 ones installed, if you want post up the PN# for yours and I'll check mine to match up. Just doesn't make sense, they've always lined up for me and others so wtf is up.

Could have always gotten the wrong bracket too (they ARE s13/s14 specific) but it looks like the S14 one from the pic.

Are your housings clocked?

[devonkyle77]

not sure, as i did not purchase the turbo new. i have no idea how to clock it if thats the case.
