Detroit 14L Turbo

We are running an old woods truck with DDEC 4, the VGT turbo is leaking air around the actuator rod where it enters the turbo, is it possible to disconnect the rod , set the rod to a position between maximum and minimum boost, cement it in place with high temperature sealant and operate the turbo with the blades in a set position. The air actuator assembly is in working condition with no leaks.


The turbo spins good, no play or noises.

Thanks
