yea, most turbos just have a crescent shaped clip that holds the wastegate actuator arm to the flapper. Just grab a pair of pliers and slide it off. But they tend to come off real quick so make sure your other hand is there to catch it.

Hardware store, Canadian Tire, fastener store, etc. E-clips are not exactly rare.
