Kkr480 And Standard Wastegate Actuator? + Questions

I was wondering if its possible to use a standard rb25 turbo actuator on a KKR480 HP turbo. I am after a bit less boost as the turbos are known to spike a bit. I have in there a 13psi spring rate and it will see 16+ sometimes which not so good. May be a factor to bearing may not. Anyways, like i said want to run a bit less boost so the spiking issue wont be so "in your face".

Or would you reccomend putting a standard turbo on there and upping the boost to say 15psi to make around 200rwkw? With current turbo setup I am making 240rwkw on 13psi but the power delivery is harsh to say the least. Seeing usable boost around 4500 mark, give or take a bit... and then hitting (not so much now that i got used it) like a head on with a semi.

I am after something that will be reliable, streetable with some power. I can't afford a new turbo so that it is out of the question til the funds situation is in my favour.

So back to the previous question... Will standard rb25 actuator fit KKR480 turbo and will this lower "standard" boost back down to 7psi?

Cheers for reading.

Im pretty sure the stock actuator wont fit the KKR480 turbo (im using kkr480)

Ive even got otomoto to send me a 7psi actuator and bolted it on and im still boosting to 19psi (running like this for 12months)

I think most guys have to get the housing wastegate flap ported out, or weld it up and run external gate?

hope this helps.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
