To sum up what I've been getting PMs about:
Non-standard size, non-standard bolt holes, non-standard EVERYTHING.
Anything about it is one off, and it sucks horribly as a trubo since it's smaller than a 2560 size-wise but spools slower than a GT35R or something equally ridiculously large on a Miata.
Oh, and it has several cheap chinese bolts/studs broken off in it, which are going to run some $StupidCost to have machined out (See: Curly's dilemma about busted bolts/studs with his T25)

I was just going to say that the wastegate didn't look like it was gonna work once clocked, but apparently it does.
Yeah, just one cost me $70.
Why didn't you return it like me? Did you wanna just try it?

This was back when I converted from my 1.6 to my 1.8 engine as well, please remember. I also changed full turbo setups, engines, etc.

Latest update:
Scratching my head on this. It builds boost so goddamn fast it overshoots the target boost, and hits overboost control basically as fast as I can hit the gas pedal.
How does one properly adjust an adjustable wastegate?

I'm not certain - but when I couldn't build boost very well (Read: Wasn't tightened down. At all.), it held around 9psi of boost stable once the turbo had finally spooled up. The turbo I got comes with base pressure wastegates between 6-12 psi, sadly my reseller didn't include that information with the turbo I bought.
I went from no preload to 3.5 turns of preload as per suggestions from the internet. Likely, that's too much preload, but at this point I have no futzing idea.
and how much preload you got on that sucker?

Read: Keep loosening it until I reach the boost psi I want? Seemed intuitive, but the source I read was pretty clear about 3-3.5 turns of preload, which made me worry.
