Hey guys! Hoping some of you can chip in opinions here. Got a 2007 Classic Duramax that started showing codes pertaining to the turbo. Took it to a shop and they said the vanes are only opening 75% due to the unison ring on the turbo. Short of it is they are telling me to put in a new turbo. My question is if I’m going to go that route should I replace it with the same style factory turbo? Or is there a better upgrade for a stockish duramax?
Stock trans
EGR delete
5 inch down pipe

Codes were
P003A
P0191
P2563

Thank you!

What about just cleaning the vanes and ring? I've heard of some spraying penetrating oil into them and manually cycling it a bunch of time to free it up
