Title: Actuator too cheap?

Probably not Garrett, does that mean its not worth having? For a stock 115 turbo

Garrett ones are £60

Do you need a new actuator then? If you don't then no need to buy one I say...

I've narrowed it down to either vnt sticking again, even though it seems to be free. Worth mr muscle treatment I say. Or the spring is weak in the actuator.

I'm just weighing up options and pricing. If I do need a new actuator it will have to be a garrett, but first I will mr muscle that turbo!
