Default Bracket to hold IWG shut on Turbo?

Does anyone know of a good solution to bracket an the wastegate arm on an IHI turbo to hold the wastegate shut?

I'm looking at a bracket from area1320.com but wanted to know if there were any alternatives.

if you have a dremel and/or cutting wheel and a drill with bits for metal you could probably make one yourself, shouldnt be too hard. but other then that, youd just have to get one made at a machine shop somewhere. I wouldnt spend more then $30 for one, just make some measurements and draw up a diagram and take it somewhere.

he got his for much cheaper then you will find it. Someone did it themselves and then decided not to use it. a UR kit with wastegate is $550 or thereabouts. not sure what the slowboy is, but im sure its right around there.

Helix just came out with their setup and it's only 400 shipped from gruppe-s! Comes with a Tial 38mm or 44mm EWG.
