Where is the Turbo Control Actuator?

Hi all,

In the middle of pulling my tubos, I'm following these steps, I've got to this point:

Unbolt the turbo control actuator under the turbos. (2 12mm bolts) Remove the little C clip holding the actuator rod to the turbo control gate with a small jewlers screwdriver or similar...it is okay if you dammage it cause its no longer needed. At this point you can either attempt to remove the actuator from the lines to get it out of the way, or you can leave it hanging. It might be easier in the long run to remove it completly. Its no longer needed.
I'm probably being dumb but I had spent 8 hours outside with the car n thought lets call it a night.

So my question is, what do these buggers look like?

Thanks

Dave

The turbo control actuator is mounted to the bottom of the exhaust manifold. It sits just above the subrame on the passenger side and looks like a fat soda can.

I'm guessing its easier to get to from under the car

I wish I had a US RX and not a JDM Spec, I've had to remove the stearing arm, I couldn't remove the damn rear turbo pipe due to the dam brake cylinder, you guys have it good

Which publisher would you recommend?
Thanks
