lazy bodge and doesn't work correctly, a proper risk of overboosting
all you need to do is unbolt the actuator from the aluminium snail then carefully with a hammer handle (be careful not to push it too far in and damage the fins) in the outlet lift it to roughly the 1.30 - 2 o'clock position when looking from the front of the engine
pull the actuator mount back to the snail casing and mark through the bracket holes (felt tip or similar) , it might be easier if you unclip it from the lever (E-clip to remove)
very large circlip pliers to extract the retaining circlip (it's bloody huge and locks itself in) and wriggle the snail off
recheck your felt tip marks are correct by holding the actuator over them then carefully centre punch them
i then use my pillar drill to allow me a little more control drilling ready for tapping the threads, take your time and keep an eye on the depth of hole you drill (it's only 6 or 7mm deep from memory), some folks use an ordinary hand drill with the snail still on the rest of the turbo but i like to minimise the risk of mistakes being as i've got the tools, if you drill and tap the one hole first you can then bolt the actuator back on and then use a 6mm drill through the actuator to centre mark "exactly" where the second hole is drilled
i think the drill size you'll want will be 5.5mm to allow you to use an M6 tap (6x1.25 i think), test it all on a bit of scrap ally first so you get a feel for doing the job
i cannot empathise enough that you have to take your time tapping threads into ally as it will clog the tap
you also need two taps, one to start the threading process (a very tapered tap with almost no threads on the end, and a "blind hole" tap that has the threads all the way to the end to finish the job
and just to set the record straight, i'm NOT a trained engineer or anything remotely like, i have no fancy workshop, just lots of tools and the patience to think these jobs through along with a bit of web searching
i bought my circlip pliers from machine mart, 2 or 3 pairs in a cardboard/plastic box with interchangeable heads at a cost of roughly 25-30quid, bought them specifically to do this job, they're now on the shelf for a very long time they're that big
hope that helps
