Title: Forge actuator fitting (WITH PICS)
Post by: Dave_IOW on 05 December 2010, 18:01

Hi, anyone got a picture of a forge actuator on a KO3s not on a car.

Cant get mine to fit, only way is to have the bar that goes to wastegate at one hell of an angle and can still only get 2 fixing bolts in?

The rod is literally as far to the side as it can be and still not the right angle to go through the wastegate arm  :huh:

When is through, bar is so far over, the arm cant open/shut anyway??

Looks like angle of bracket slightly off can't it be bent a tad to line up properly ??

I don't think it would mate as they are weird angles as it is

Cut your OEM bracket off the original actuator, measure the bolt holes on the new bracket and drill out and bolt the forge actuator to your modified original bracket then it'll fit. That's what I did with mine and it's fantastic
