T34's usually have the fitment that is cast into the comp housing, if you want to fit it onto a 2wd application then the housings need to be rotated,and thus the factory holes for the actuator don't line up with the wastegate arm, so a new bracket is needed.

sounds like you either have a standard (or hybrid) T3 or possibly T4 but they are pretty huge so i reckon you'd know

it's a T34 and it looks just like the pic i showed above

only difference is mine has the extra actuator bracket because mine's fitted to a 2wd exhaust manifold, yours is fitted in the standard position for a 4x4 manifold
