Pin link connecting actuator rod to wastegate
I have a X50 996 turbo, one of the link pins connecting the actuator road to the nearside turbo wastegate has corroded and keeps slipping out of the wastegate connecting hole, resulting in half boost due to the exhaust gasses escaping from the open waste gate.

Is it possible to just buy this component on its own, or do you have to buy a complete actuator?

Is it a secure clip that is held on by two retaining nuts?

Attached is a photo of the failed part.

I don't believe this is the securing clip.

Correct, This is not a securing clip.

This piece is part of the turbo and I think porsche don´t sell it.

Try to repair it.
