I picked up a used WH1C a while back and the waste gate itself (not the actuator) was frozen shut. I soaked it in penetrating oil and ATF for a month with no change. I snapped 3 of the back plate bolts off trying to remove them. I welded nuts to the stubs of the bolts and heated the surrounding metal to a nice bright orange before they would move. Got 2 out and snapped the 3rd flush with the housing. Had to drill that one. My touchless thermometer was registering 550ish* in the area of the waste gate shaft and I still couldn't move it.
Today after it had cooled down I pried the tab off the outside and attempted to beat the shaft out with a hammer and punch. The shaft moved 1/16th of an inch and then the bushing started moving out of the housing. So I knocked it the whole way out.
My question is can/where would I be able to get the bushing and waste gate assembly?
Any input is appreciated (yes I know I should've left well enough alone and been happy with a Non WG 12cm housing.)

Not sure if you can buy them separate; isn't it al welded together once in the housing?

We ran into to same problem on my brothers and ended up just locating a used hx35 housing.

If nothing else you could just pipe thread and plug both those holes shut.
