Just spoke to Adam from Turbo Developments in the UK. Top bloke & very helpfull. He gave me a few simple tests & tricks before i go any further.
The actuator arm should move as soon as the engine is reved, even if it in park. If it doesn't, remove the linkage between the actuator & turbo. Move the linkage to the turbo up & down& it should feel smooth, if you can't move the linkage, the turbo is cactus. If you can but it a little notchey, get a piece of wire & tie the linkage in the up positions & take the car for a hard drive, this hold the veins in the most open positions & allows any carbon buildup to escape out exhaust. Sometimes this works he said. If the linkage is smooth, you have Options. You can purchase an exchange unit from them for £150 + postage. When you receive the new one, return your old one to them. Or you can send you unit to them for repair. Either way, allot cheaper than any Aussi alternative.
