I do run a heat shield on my wastegate can, just a piece of pie pan. My seals are different though, pretty sure you said you greased the shaft and bushing. I do have one more real dual port can, kinda saving it for when mine or Lars' dies as a quick spare.
I bet you could fit 2 washers with grommets in the middle instead of another brass bushing. Also, I use valve and faucet lube or grease.

Shaft is greased. Good moly stuff. Grease is still there, didn't get melty, so its not that hot.
I'll try a heat shield. Need to call turbosmart and see what they say. Probably that the shaft needs to be adjusted.
But @afm can attest that the shaft is very lined up.

I can't get you onto the coaching roster for this weekend but I could get you checked off for inter or advanced run group. You'll have to pay either way, sorry.

Measured alignment. 2 thou out side to side. 7 thou up and down. I'm not sure I can get better than that...
Going to work on a heat shield, and contact turbo smart tomorrow.
I just read this thread from start to finish, over the course of 2-3 weeks whilst on break at work.
I feel like I've learnt a lot about what is possible to break, I'm quite surprised you haven't broken any PPF's as of yet
From what I gather you are doing all of this mainly for your own experience, you should consider coming to Australia as you wish to improve your burnout game.
EFR want is real
I need to fly to the US and buy all my gear, I'd rather smuggle it back and pay for flights than Australian import duty.

Just watch out if you're driving here - fixed speed cameras everywhere.
30kmh/18mph over the limit and insta-loss of license
Also Kangaroos if you're driving through back-roads at night... many a car have been written off due to Kangaroos jumping into them down here...
Even the animals are F*****
