You looking at buying this item? A $25 boost elbow from TST will do the same job and take 2 minutes to install.. Sorta a waste of $$$$$$ IMHO...TST boost elbow

The big head actuator usually comes in combination with a 14cm housing.
The wastegate is bigger and the web inbetween the the two exhaust intake sides of the turbo is removed so that all 6 cylinders are gated rather than just normal 3.
Lowers egts when the gate is open.
