I test fitted the WGs and coulldn't get them seated enough to get the clamp on. I'm pretty sure I can at install with a pair of channel-locks but I didn't want to do that for test fitting.

It was somewhat difficult for me lol. I was working on jackstands and was on a creeper. So every time I pushed down on the wastegate, I would roll away lol. I ended up on my back with my legs wrapped around something. I had to squeeze the clamp together with channel locks to get it closed enough to get the bolt through. Then I used a dead blow hammer to tap the wastegate to get it clocked for the recirc tube.

Mine were tough to fit also. I need to have a look again before I put the car back on the road. I have a very small leak on the output of one of the waste gates.
