Topic cleaned, if you don't have anything useful to say on this topic then don't bother posting. It is sensible to always check the easy things first, in this case check the actuator is connected, check all intercooler pipes are ok and leak free and that the vaccuum hoses are connected properly etc If the turbo wheel is hard to turn then it could be seized - the bearing may be damaged, but it's not always best to jump to conclusions. I agree with checking the simple things first.
