    VJ11 wastegate actuator solutions

    I am getting ready to install a VJ11 in my GTX and was wondering what everybody has done to fix the issue with the wastegate actuator hitting the block. I have read a couple different solutions and figured it would be good to get them all in one place so I can figure out what's going to work best for me.

    while I'm on the subject, when I got the turbo from the junk yard I also picked up the injectors. Would . these be a useful upgrade over stock? The car already has a walboro 255log fuel pump and a corksport tune. I just want to get everything in order before I dig in.

    Your thoughts?

    Re- Drill the holes on the actuator bracket to move it closer to the CHRA. I think you'll go from using 3 bolts to two.

      sounds easy enough. do you happen to have any pictures of the 're- drilled bracket?
      Also I'm still a little in the dark as to weather or not the mx-6 injectors will be a good upgrade. Would it only help me if I was running stand alone fuel management or a different tune?
      Any information would be swell
      Thanks

            I really don't like VJ11's. VJ14 same price and handles 16psi much better. My opinion anyways.

              I used the stock vj14 waste gate but modified the push rod to make it work. I might have pictures in my old gtx resurrection work long. You can search for it

                I know it's your opinion, but how do you figure that? The VJ11 is a larger turbo, ideally much more optimal in a hybrid 14/11 than a full 11 but they flow more & can sustain 16psi to redline. Both turbos max out their efficiency at 16psi. And where are you finding cheap 14's? 11's are much more common
