Someone to rotate comp housing wellington

[petrolheadjman]

So I just got a td05 courtesy of rex-leggy but I need to rotate the comp housing 180 deg to fit in with my piping setup.

this is easy on a vf23 like I had because of the clips on the back but the td05 has bolts instead and only 2 of them.

So I was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could go to get this sorted during the week? Will need an alloy welder

surely you can just rotate it round with the right socket and circlip pliers?

godda pic?

So I haven\'t explained myself too well

Where the wastegate actuator bolts to the comp housing wont mount up if it is rotated without having nuts to bolt to in the different position

if this helps

[funkytown]

oh yes i see, guttz cant help sorry, i forgot about the old internal wastegate issues.

Time for an external?

Trying to avoid it haha. It is just a td05 16g doesn\'t require external

Why dont you stick with the 23?

i\'ve got a td05 in bits at the moment. seems like you can just sort the location pin on the housing, and make a crescent shaped bracket for the wastegate? you can offset the thickness of the bracket with the adjustment on the arm

Hadn\'t thought of that. Will have a looksy

I have just heard of people welding nuts in place so I thought that was the best option

[kamineko]

of course, that would be pretty clean. you could grind the old lugs off too. for some reason i never think of the welding option

drill new holes through the actuator bracket where ever they line up with bolt holes in the comp housing .

use the left over tab things around the rest of it

thats what i did on loganrasti \'s car ;D

edit . that was a vf23 . looking at pic it wont work on a TDopuu

Wont work as above chap. Its not a vf. Its not flipping it thats the problem its wtf do I mount the actuator too. Similar to evo td05 you cant flip with internal it mounts on the front of the comp housing.
