    Can you move the actuator? As long as the veins are moving freely and you just need an actuator, just call one of the turbo supply houses off of Google surely somebody sells just the actuator

    You grab hold of it and see if you can move the output rod. If the spring is too heavy pull the cotter pin and drop the pin and see if you can actually move the linkage

    I think it's stuck in the open position that's why it's leaking internally I'll have to take the turbo out it's hard to get behind it
