I Believe this is the T2 style actuator - so the bolt holes won't line up with yours...

the r5 T2 comes with a twin port actuator as std and people like to reduce this to a single port to help reduce boost sensing pipework, this is the actuator to do such a thing,

remember for the mirage kit you need to relocate the actuator and modify the wastegate lever due to its proximity to the bulkhead, this could possible be used with making an alternative bracket

hogster - i'm sure remember reading somewhere the r5 boosts upto to 10 psi as std, could be mistaken

Ive got a forge billet T2 one to use with my mirage install, its loads smaller than the T3 ones. Should make it easier to fit in hopefully!
