GT2871R actuator install problem.

[dustyk]

Just wanted to know if anyone on here has installed a GT2871 on a SR20det. I clocked the exhaust housing and the compressor so that the oil drain is facing down and the compressor outlet is at the original location (with a 90 degree elbow) The problem that I am having is with the actuator and actuator bracket that comes with the turbo. The only way that I can get the bracket to fit is if I flip it around, but then the actuator is too short to reach. If anyone has done this turbo install and tell me what they did, it would help me a lot.

I have done the install, but I had to "modify" the actuator. I dont have pics of it, but I do know that they sent me a straight actuator, and I needed one that was bent. It was precisions fault. First I didnt get an actuator with my turbo, so they sent me one later and it was the wrong one. They might have sent you the wrong actuator. I ended up having to have it cut and bent by a local guy that does good work. Thats all I know. Sorry...... not much help
