Someone posted a video of that moving a while back. It did make some noise. Interesting that some engines seem to be noisier than others.

I have the same noise, any resolution?? Did the dealers replace anything??
No i have not replaced it. I work at the dealer as a diesel technician and I'm so used to hearing a vgt sweep on a diesel that i don't notice the waste gate actuator unless someone else brings it up. Any dealer shouldn't have a problem replacing it if you're bothered by the noise.

I'm just concerned about it failing at some point...
