Turbo + Catalytic Converter

Yeah, I was one of the people who suggested it... or was that someone else's post I responded to... doesn't matter anyway, just wanted to be sure you tested it.

That looks like the right part, but I would ask the the distance from the center of the two mounting holes from each other and the distance from the center of each hole to the center of the bell... just to be 100% sure.

If the gate itself is stuck a new actuator isn't going to help. You'll need to pull the turbo and see what needs cleaned up. You may want to disconnect the actuator's arm and then try moving the waste gate's armature by hand or with pliers. If the waste gate itself is stuck it is possible te actuator is also damaged now as well, so re-test it when it's disconnected.
