Stock Wastegate Port Verification

Porting the stock wastegate before I stick these fresh twins in, just wanted to verify which one needed porting. Hoping it is #1, that way all I have to do is flip the unit over and start grinding.

Thanks,
Kyle

I was afraid of that, but thought I would make sure before I busted off the oil and coolant lines.

somebody pop the piccy in the 1st post back up ?

Gonna be porting the wastgate on my knight sports twins and just need to verify the wastgate as they cost me loads and dont wanna start the wrong one lol

If i look at the front turbo there are 2 acctuators, the top one i think is the wastegate acctuator, would i be correct in thinking if i follow the arem that comes off this then the flapper that is connected to the end is the one i need to port ?

Like i say im almost sure , just need verification.

yes, the top actuator is connected to the wastegate. Separate the two turbos and all will be revealed.
