Place to buy wastegate actuator for a rhb5

I bought a rhb5 turbo recently but i need the wastegate actuator to go along with it. The stock one is either 6 or 7.5 psi, either of which will work. does anyone know where i can get the actuator from? Thanks!

what rhb5 do you have? there are many.

I have a waste gate from a older smaller rhb5 on my VJ-11 hot half with a vj-17 cold side, with a little work and fabing anything is possible.

I ended up threading the waste gate rod and using a coupler to adjust and join it back together, this makes it adjustable also. I had to mount my waste gate about 3" farther out.
