BRE Engine, sticking turbo vanes - Where to apply Mr Muscle?

Quick feedback on this. 10k perfect miles on the click since the £3 fix. Whilst this upset those charging big bucks for this service work, all I can say, this worked well for me.....

ive heard nothing but positive things from people who have actually done it, myself included ..

no one says its as good as taking the turbo apart and cleaning it all property .. but that doesnt mean its useless

Overboost limp mode happened just the once , confirmed by relevant fault code , but I knew straight away what to do .

£3 Mr Muscle oven cleaner ( sodium hydroxide ) in the hot side ( did it twice ) and wiggle the actuator arm and it's not happened since and that was two years ago !

Good morning...i have the same engine (Bre) and i want to do the same procedure..how did you get access to the hot side of turbo? i unbolted the egr cooler pipe but it has no play..do i have to remove the egr cooler completely? thanks.

Just in case someone is looking for how to remove the turbo from an Audi A6 C6 2.0TDI BRE Engine code, here is the manual explaining it. I intend to remove it but will be much confident if I had a video documentation, but there is none I can find.
