    Are you sure it is the turbo and not a loose / wet belt somewhere?

    I would get things checked out before just buying a turbo incase is it something else.

    Possibly a small leak in the exhaust near the manifold / turbo.

    Sounds more like an auxilliary belt and/or pulley.

    after some messing yesterday i spotted that the actuator bar doesnt move when i rev the car.checked the vac hose coming from the vac solanoid+that seems fine.begining to think its not the turbo now because when i removed thae vac hose going to the actuator the turbo didnt squeel.
    also played with the MAF sensor because that goes to the same vacsolanoid+the turbo didnt squeel when i had the MAF disconected.

    could it be the MAF sensor or is this unrelated??

    Your "Actuator Bar" is your swirl rod bar.

    This moves with the increase in acceleration to allow increased airflow.

    If your swirl bar doesn't move, then your actuator that sits underneath the air inlet manifold will not be working.

    I am not sure if you can just get the actuator changed itself.

    My swirl bar became detached a few months ago and I had to have a new air inlet manifold and actuator at a cost of £700 from a local diesel specialist.

    If your swirl bar is still connected to the air intake manifold, which it sounds like it is, then you may just need a new swirl bar actuator, however I believe the air intake manifold must still be removed to gain access to it.

    If I am wrong, will someone please correct me.

    So is it going to be a good idea to get the actuator changed first then before I go thinking about the turbo side of things??
    Could any of the vacuum side of things not be the problem.is the actuator controled by air/boost yes?
