TD05 20g WG actuator bracket help

[athlete3344]

Ive been trying to find pictures of custom brackets to get an idea of how to mount this thing. Anyone have any? Im also assuming I can bend the arm so it offsets and can actually connect to the WG. Im keeping the internal for now, but I plan on replacing the O2 housing with one that can fit an external wastegate later.

Also, the couple of holes on the compressor side definitely go all the way through. Should I either try to use these with the custom bracket or plug them + high temp thread sealer?

I do have an actuator from a t25 that I would be ok with using for the short term as well.

This is what mine has. Let me know if the pics aren't good enough.

Might be easier to get an aftermarket one that is adjustable. You can get ones that have a “s” shape to them and would help with the issue you are having I’d think.

That looks close to what I was thinking for orientation. Do you happen to have pics of it from the face of the compressor?

Yea that was another option. The t25 actuator i have would likely fit - it had a bend and larger rod. I would still need to fabricate some kind of bracket.

I don't really think I can get a good angle for a picture for you, but something I just realized is mine has a j-pipe on it and the wastegate rod goes in between the j-pipe and the compressor housing whereas yours has the intake integrated into the compressor housing which might make it not possible for this setup.
Maybe you could clock the compressor housing differently to point straight down instead of angled towards the front?

Yea I was just thinking about that. I think I need to get a rough idea of where my IC pipes run.

All of this was bought like 10 years ago, which is part of the problem.

The thing with IC pipe is you can kind of adjust it to match up with where the inlet is. I'd say get that mocked up and the answer to the WG will problem become easier.

Appreciate the back and forth, this all helped a bunch. I did find another thread w someone detailing a bracket a bit but some pics were missing. I think I have a decent idea of what to make it out of though.

Ill post an update here when I get it right.

Good quality pics on this Kinugawa web page might help, using the zig-zag type of rod.
