Replace entire turbo or just vgt actuator?

[Wiseman]

The right decision involve thorough inspection on every single part upon full dis assembly ! My understanding is you don't have the resources to do that ! All I can say is : Whatever you decide ( whole new turbo or actuator only ) , go with OEM Holset parts and assembly !!! I urge everyone here to forget about cheap aftermarket lookalikes and knockoffs when it comes to turbos !!! ( and not only )
