is not uncommon in the vvt turbos atleast from a dealer standpoint here in ct. we do atleast one a month. the unison ring rusts to the flange it spins on and then you have no vain movement. it is a great turbo design, but this is one of the design flaws. you can manually control the vain position with your efi live scan tool. maybe worth a try.
