T25 internal wastegate modification
Got an SR turbo from a friend of mine and realized the wastegate wasnt even close to working after reclocking the turbo and positioning the oil drain and feed. Anyways i bought the kit in the pic below and mounted it to the compressor housing. Let me know what you guys think about it.

I see that, but you still never modified the wastegate.
All you did was mount a different actuator in a way that works with your setup.
I mean, it looks like you did good, just improper terminology.

When clocking sr20 turbos it's normal for the actuator not to fit. Same in my case. I had to buy an aftermarket actuator that can be bolted to the compressor housing bolts so it's in the correct position. Your setup looks fine. And as long as the arm can extend fully to open the flap without binding, your golden.

any shop would charge way more than the cost of the aftermarket actuator to actually design and manufacture a bracket that will fit the stock actuator. making a bracket from scratch is hours of work, and then having a machine shop make a run of 1 part is not cheap.
