After a little head scratching I noticed the wastegate mounting holes on the intake housings are different than the auto ones that were originally on the engine, not allowing enough rotation to clear the exhaust. So my questions are why are the mounting holes different (there is very little difference), and will the auto intake housings work with the manual exhaust housings I have mounted?
