    The worst thing I've noticed is the VGT Actuator Controller and the Actuator itself leaking air. As far the turbo itself, just as good as any.

    now they have electric actuator.
    sometimes the ring which change the geometry get stocked and turbo becomes heterostraight:biggrin_25516:

    The actuator failure is the most common on those. when this happen they can just change the actuator and they do not have to change out the entire turbo.
