is there an easy way to get to the underside of the wastegate acctuator on a turbo z31 ... every way I atempt to get at it there is something in the way that's either hard to remove or can't be removed ... I'm trying to install a greddy EBC and per instructions i have to hook one hose to the underside of accutator and one to the turbo housing ... I have a T3/T4 turbo upgrade and I was considering just going ahead and installing that just to get at the stubborn acctuator.

I cheated ... I took off the a/c compressor, a/c compressor bracket, and took off the turbo inlet S pipe ... and wa-la the wastegate acctuator and its triple hose are exposed with plenty of room to work from the top ... I know, not a method for everyone ... but, I was going to take the a/c out for intercooler pipe routing anyway
