After a few years of getting the occasional limp mode I adjusted the actuator and it kinda helped, but not enough. So I'm in the middle of a significant refurb and decided to open the turbo up and see what's in there. The actuator arm and nozzle ring have worn each other out. everything else is (relatively) fine. Sad that this tiny bit of metal is the only thing wrong with it. But still impressive for 340k miles.
So it appears I'm in the market for a turbo and there's a vast range of brands and prices. Any opinions on what to stay away from? I'm leaning towards a rebuilt Garrett or a new Mahle for about the same price, but don't really know.
