My Free VCDS today (with pic) But what does it mean? Bad Turbo?

[2005 B5.5]

Hey, well after using Mr Muscle on the turbo it was much better, but now after driving only about 40 miles its back to how it was. i.e bad lol
When i was cleaning the turbo with Mr Muscle! i was moving the (actuator) rod up and down with my fingers to hopefully free up the veins a bit. it was really hard to move it and it didn't seem to go up and down much so to double check i bought a hand held vacuum pump pressure tester and when using that it goes up and down fully nicely, but the problem still remains, does that give any better idea as to if its the turbo that needs changing? Both the actuators on the turbo and the egr seem ok (two pics)
Cheers

It needs to come off, opened up, bead blasted and rebuilt. Send it to Midland Turbo.

Brilliant link thanks for that, I found a split turbo pipe, the one that come out the bottom of the cold side of the turbo, so im hoping that's the problem! i have a funny feeling its not tho!
