I have a 2016 GL450 158,000 miles with the dreaded low boost pressure code. I’ve vacuum tested both wastegate and the passenger side (bank 1?) holds the vacuum for over a minute. The drivers side does not hold any vacuum and barely moves when vacuum applied. Is there a way to just replace the actuator and not the whole turbo?? It looks possible but there is a paucity of information and it’s difficult to find just the actuator (unless Amazon or eBay).

It is possible if you can access it. Hopefully yours didn't fail from oil getting in there - this is a good explanation of that
