Repairing a VGT

[onebadapple]

CM 2350 Has anyone repaired a turbo with a sticky arm? With the engine cold the VG arm moves freely like it is supposed to. Did a “hot” test a few days ago: Got it to operating temperature then drained the antifreeze and had the actuator off in less than fifteen minutes. The arm moved freely about 7/8s of it’s travel then a sticky spot when pushing it to the right. This could explain some of the issues I’ve had recently. Is there a way to repair this without installing a new 5K+ turbo?

Most of the time I find that the vgt internal ring it crack if it sticks when hot. I have YTS fix them
