Right, this update was supposed to be this morning, but due to internet shenanigans I haven't been able to post it:
I don't know about the recirc valve yet Chris_90, but I can hacksaw the head of the bolt off if need be, if I have to go any further then I will need to make up a flat blank off plate for it.
I just need to wait for a Dturbo person to confirm whether the actuator being down there is "out of the way" or not, before I get a bracket welded for it
Anyway, another minor update (already, I hear you cry?)
Trimmed the adapter plate right down so that it doesn't obstruct the wastegate arm and removed some other unnecessary bits, reckoned I saved a few hundred grams on it
Then I realised that the actuator can be extended even further out if need be
Then I removed the comp housing and hacksawed off the old actuator bracket, it's already gonna be a tight fit down the back of the lump without that huge bracket sticking out!
So yeah, at the moment the main thing I am waiting on is advice on this actuator! Welding is annoyingly permanent when it's in the wrong spot.
