If i remember right, theres 2 versions of them. There's a universal kit and a kit thats for stock T25/T28 turbos. Most places will only send you the universal kit so you will have to mod it to work. May have to shorten the arm and fabricate a mount for it.

Bringing this thread back from the dead because better than a new one. So after looking for a while for an internal wastegate/actuator for my gt2871r WITH "RS/disco potato" compressor housing, i finally got a new (stock garrett actuator) rated from 12-14 psi from phase2. I am more than likely to run the turbo more than 14 psi, possibly 17-19+ psi. The car still has a blown s14 turbo with a hks actuator on it. HKS actuator:
"It is always a good idea to upgrade the stock actuator if you want to boost beyond 14psi. Boost range higher than 1.2bar can be achieved with the aide of an aftermarket boost controller to direct signals to the wastegate actuator for higher boost pattern."

I've read and done some research and found rb guys with a lot of boost spike with the garrett adjustable one that i had bought. MOST people recommend the hks actuator for 14+ psi on internal wastegate. BUT the disco potato type compressor housing requires a bent rod, which hks does not have.

Anyone have or know of someone that can (or already has) customed a bracket that will allow the hks actuator to mount properly on the disco potato type housing without having to clock the compressor housing?

I will be running a power fc boost controller kit with my sr20 (with supporting mods of course). Would the power fc boost controller + stock wastegate be sufficient and not spike much at my desired boost ranges? Help me out.
