FD wastegate actuator?

Does anyone have a lead on a replacement wastegate actuator for an FD?

As in non-oem? Turbosmart make a universal type, that should be able to be made fit the existing mount with a bit of work when I checked the dimensions last. The mong over here doing improved twins was using Forge units on his a while back.

I have OEM turbos still. I have discovered that my wastegate isnt holding boost because the actuator seems to be worn out. I’m trying to avoid going after market and needing to build a bracket.

When I ported the FD twins center turbo piece and cut-back the downpipe flange to allow the internal wastegate flapper arm to open further I found the stock actuator did not have enough throw to open the flapper all the way.

I watched so.e youtube vids to choose an aftermarket actuator that had more throw and bought the Kinugawa SR20 kit. It had pieces that allowed it to fit up, though I had to fab up a simple WG bracket where it mounts to the compressor housing.

Not sure if you are looking for stock or looking for an aftermarket one like I was.
