I talked to the mechanic I use down here and he is making the case for putting a non VG turbo on instead of the VG because he said every engine they've tuned (deleted ) has worn out the turbo in six months. I'm thinking they may be putting a bad tune on it which is taking the turbos out.

So what is the consensus - stay with the VGT or non VGT?

Just replaced the actuator! ISM or ISX with a good actuator runs tits up! Replace your tech!
