Looks right to me.

Your second picture (other posting) shows that you don't have that installed... Just 2 loose bolts visible

You need a bracket to join the bolts I've marked red to the wastegate bolts I've marked yellow.

Well it started first turn of the key. There was a squeeling noise and it looks like the alternator belt is too tight. Turned it off as it started to smoke :shock:

Very mixed feelings

How do you tighten the dipstick After removal to replace the turbo. I just can't get a spanner in it :banghead:
