A mounting bracket adapted for use in mounting a wastegate actuator to a turbocharger of an automotive engine. The mounting bracket includes a flat metal bracket having a hole formed therein, for supporting the wastegate actuator, and a clamping portion integrally attached to the metal bracket. The clamping portion surrounds a cylindrical inlet portion of the turbocharger to mount the bracket thereon. The clamping portion is also used to tighten the wastegate actuator in place on the turbocharger body. Once a desired position of wastegate actuator is achieved, the clamping portion is tightened around the turbocharger pipe using a fastener to keep the two halves of the clamping portion fastened together. The design of the mounting bracket allows for a large number of positions in which the wastegate actuator is placed on the turbocharger.
