When Jeff (RocketChip) was reprogramming my ECU, he stuck a vacuum pump on my VNT actuator, and you could hear the mechanism letting go after in overcame some initial stickyness.
Last weekend I pulled the intake and cleaned it (plenty of gunk), adjusted the VNT actuator, and cleaned the turbo. It was the actuator itself that was sticking, not the turbo mechanism.
I had swapped MAFs and N75s earlier, but neither made a difference.
Now my boost graph looks like this: (Note that this is with RC2, and the earlier graph was stock)
