Sticky turbo vanes or dodgy actuator?

When really put the pedal to the floor, I go into limp mode (usually when lifting off the accelerator, or gear changes up) code is Turbo Overboost. Learned to live with it, she's hardly a sports car anyway.... but still. It'd be nice to say "Yes.... i can overtake this car" without worrying about it.

So my question is... carbon gunk and sticky vanes, or a dodgy actuator?

Ran the airpath test on SDD, and got this. To me that looks like the vanes are jammed in the high rev position - would make sense when overboost error kicks in when taking foot off the gas. ERG is blanked. Visual under the car sees the actuator arm moving while revving the engine.

Anyone more up to speed on this than me?

It’s easy enough to disconnect the actuator arm (don’t lose the clip), & see what the turbo link feels like. Give it a lube & try again. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

In my experience, if the EGR is blanked, it will upset an air path test or calibration. Remove the EGR blank and run the test again. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

More likely to be carbon build up on the variable geometry ring.
I didn't drive mine hard and that's exactly what happened to mine.
Driving like miss Daisy doesn't work the mechanism hard enough to keep it clean. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

Thanks guys... removing the blank and will retest.

One question though - Is the Air Path Calibration the same as the Air Path Test? That's the only airpath related line i've got available in SDD. I see a lot of mentions online of the 'Air Path Calibration' or 'Air Path Setup Routine''.
