No as he bought it and never fitted it. I'll get a pic this evening when I try and pick it up again. He is gonna put the oem bracket on the forge and if that's no good then forge can send menthe correct bracket for £30. According to Forge, the actuator itself is the same on both, only the bracket differs. Cheers for the replies

you can't put the OEM bracket on the Forge actuator so don't waste time getting him to try. It's spot welded together and there are no holes for the Forge actuator to bolt to it. You've got me thinking now whether I've got the right one lol

All sorted! He put the OEM bracket on the Forge by drilling 2 holes. Forge wanted 30 quid for the new bracket so it was worth a go.... The car is now awesome! Spits flames when letting off at about 80 in 5th after a throttle pump. According to the liquid guage with the correction factor on mass air flow it's now putting out 235 bhp which is all good, no overboost  :grin:

Yeah mate, a bracket is a bracket, quick hacksawing and a drill saved 30 notes! Gotta modify modification parts otherwise it's too easy!  :laugh:
