5 GT Turbo The winter project. EFI and lots more

Bernie changed the VNT slightly as didn't like the actuator bracket on the hot side.
He has done a great job.

How come you had the bracket moved? Never had any issues other than burnt fingers it bring on the hot side

Being a 15 minute race Andy, temps very high. Might have been ok, covering all bases really.

I suppose on non VNT turbos the actuator is held on the cold side and arm goes to the warm side ..
