Wow!
That is one seriously carboned up turbo!
If you can get the actuator moving, you're almost home.
It took me a couple hours of spraying into the exhaust side of the turbo w easy-off, exercising the actuator 20-30 times, letting it sit for an hour, and then repeating the process. I saw no improvement at all on the first try/first hour. It was on the 2nd try/ second hour that I could see improvement in the actuator's movement.
In my experiments w easy-off, It took about 3 hours for the easy-off to effectively de-carbon.
Heat definately helps.
