Need Advice: GT25R Wastegate & Bracket
I just got a friend of mine to source a GT2554r from a MSP. I'll get some pictures up as soon as the dorm internet decides to start working. I do NOT have a wastegate or the wastegate bracket for it which presents a slight problem. I'd like to be running ~12 psi once I get it tuned...and there seem to be a couple of different wastegates for sale at ATP turbo, as well as a really expensive bracket. $50 for the bracket...
Should I try to source a used MSP wastegate (set at 6.5 psi) or buy a new wastegate and then try to find a used bracket from an MSP? From pictures they appear to be the same, the wastegate bracket attaches to the rear of the compressor housing rather than the front like my T25 that I sold did.
EDIT: Getting a new wastegate...what psi spring should I run?

Any wastegate actuator can be made to work really, just drill and tap the compressor housing, you can bolt-on whatever you desire.
Find an actuator that has bolt-on capability and you're good to go.

I can see the snap-ring in the first picture you posted, on the cold side. Unhook that sucka and you'll be able to clock the housing. If you need to adjust the center section, loosen the bolts on the hot side too.
