Great job. I will be doing this job tomorrow. As you mentioned on another comment that you did not calibrate the actuator and its all fine yes. Does the car run without any issues now? Thanks in advance.

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Yes correct did not calibrate. Just disconnected module. Rebuilt the turbo and reconnected. Car ran great Nd no oil blow by into inlet. Car sold now. But not for that reason just wanted a change.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will tackle this tomorrow by my self. Now my fear is if those 3 main bolts snaps. From today i will spray them with some wd40 hopefully that should help. Thanks again and again very informative video.
