VXR - Turbo Acuator/Wastegate

[MartinOPC]

Hello all you wonderful people, yes back again

I hope I can ask.
our turbo the actuator should it be rock-hard ? Or should it be able to move by hand?

Turbo is rather new to me yes and all seems good is a bit rusty the actuator is all not that bad really but I'm always kind of interested how things work and read it should be able to move 1/2 inch by hand ia that correct?
mine is rock hard

Thanks guys for helping such a nob like me,
You have taught me a lot and saved me bunch and bunch of money.

Just waiting to to be able to give something back

If yours is rock hard then you are on some kind of special medicine available from a website I know catering for those who want to bring "excitement" back into the bedroom.and I don't mean an IKEA wardrobe with push button opening doors called O公司ßàg3.
I digress yes it should have movement in it .try some lubricant like KY or WD 40

Hahahaha was what my wife told me to.
(bro when I saw ur reply was laughing myself so hard I almost womited myselfe all over.

Check, gave it some rust remover and wd40 and let it sit over the weekend.

I know 1/2 isn't much qnd maybe it isn't anything to worry just was strange and I did see a YouTube this polish guy explaining things that happens to this engine and that is an easy fix just adjusting the nut. But I rather not start doing that still pretty good video, from
08.02

Solved.
tried this morning with a grip tool and then it was easy to move
apparently it was just me because I couldn't get a proper grip on it and it moves just fine thead

Thanks again
