Pull out the driveway and bam a derate and engine shut down alarm. Turn around, hook it up and its another actuator code. Replace the actuator and havent had a problem since. Well not with the turbo anyway. These vg turbos may be efficient and all but man they can sure be infuriating but i suppose thats all things mechanical.

Mine went out at 580k miles. Put a factory re-man on and the truck now has 1.088 mil on it with the re-man. Replaced it myself, don't trust anyone else on that kind of stuff.
