Can't you just replace the wastegate actuator mounting bracket with the type that is in the older style rigs.

 

oldest thread ever, look at my posts. how stupid i was.

i thought a 18.5cm was an upgrade over a 12cm housing. haahaha

 

Thanks for the link; I was able to locate an early 12V HX-35 backing plate too. My compressor side is the Stage 4 HTT, still haven't determined how to mount the wastegate actuator, have it wired shut for now and keeping close eye on my boost.

 

No, the mounting braket is casted into the compressor housing, so the above suggestion is not possible. I can take photos if you need more clarification. My boost levels are controllable if I keep my foot out of it; I'd much rather have the peace of mind having the wastegate hooked up and set. I'll think of someway to mount the actuator. BTW the 12 cm is awesome, spool up is instantaneous.

 

I know the mounting bracket is cast into the compressor housing. The older style bracket (note totally different part bolted to housing) might still bolt on though. I think this is a valid question because when I have tooled around with 24V 12cm housings I had to source a missing actuator bracket and I bolted it in place with the supplied spacers and such. There were other mount holes that were not used still left on the exhaust housing.
