hehe, It's the one that holds the actuator arm on. I'll have to stop this afternoon and get another one. They sell them in most hardware stores.

I was going to suggest checking that, but it seems you already found it. I fixed mine by just removing some material from the inside of the housing around the wastegate flapper. That worked for a while, but then I had the wastegate puck replaced with a larger one after a wastegate port, and welded it in place. I hope that clip holds up though. I would be unsure about it holding up for very long.

my 2560r has a loose flapper, if my dp isnt JUST RIGHT on the hot side of the turbo, the flapper sometimes gets caught on my wastegate tube. Might wanna take a small dremel tool to it just to make enough clearance.

I did a mild, lethargic search to see if you had posted a driving review of this turbo but didn't find anything.
Since you ran it back to back with a genuine 2560 what do you have to say about the China 2870?
Full report please and thank you.
**** EDIT***
I just saw the YouTube vid. where it was making some scraping noises, that probalby answers it right there........

Got my issue fixed... wastegate no longer hits downpipe when opening...
Had to take off downpipe and enlarge the opening to the wastegate tube. Also bored 5 bolt flange to make it oval for finer adjustments when re-installing.
Another issue was the the wastegate arm was moving up and down with WAY too much play when it is heated. Put a tack weld on the washer so it no longer moves.
Boost Creep issue FIXED.
