Did I Get The Correct Wastegate Actuator?

[barnoon]

Hey guys,

Ive got a GCG high flow turbo on my R32 with RB20DET and my stock actuator has given up and the wastegate just flaps around all over the place so I went to GCG today to buy a new actuator, he sold me a HKS adjustable actuator for a R33 but assured me 100% that it will still fit my turbo,

I was paranoid because my stock actuator arm has a kink in it to clear the compressor part of the turbo but this HKS one does not, the guy at GCG told me that the bracket on the HKS item is slightly different and will bolt up with no worries,

Can anyone tell me from the pics below if I will have any troubles bolting the HKS one up or will it just go straight on with no clearance issues?

Stock one on the car now:

Stock one again

HKS one I purchased today

Any help greatly appreciated

takes 5 minutes to remove old actuator and test new one.

personally i think it will be very very close, if not hitting.

but why speculate...

davo, it'll fit mate. You see how the stock actuator has the kink in it but the bracket is straight?

the hks actuator has a kink in it. So it pushes that big knob out sideways.

I know that it fits on r33s easily. Should also fit on the r ugly poo. I know there's less space to the strut tower, but it should fit.

I finally figured out what you've been going on about with your r ugly poo !

Does that mean the 32 owners can call ours r stinky pee?

[MANWHORE]

Haha. You know why I say that?

I have a friend who has an r32, and he keeps saying f**k this is ugly, should have bought an r33 like yours. Everytime I hear him say that, I crack up so hard.

We actually have an r32, so it's not like I hate them or anything. I've noticed that r32 owners always start first in saying calling 33s boats, whales etc. so I figured ...

the new actuator you have purchased bots onto the back of the compressor housing where the bolts are.

the standard one is on the front of the comp cover.

so when you unbolt the standard one thro it in the bin, then undo the two bolts on your comp cover and bolt and adjust accordingly.
